Loose board banging in jumbo (14)
I believe the answer is:
brobdingnagian
'jumbo' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'loose board banging in' is the wordplay.
'loose' indicates anagramming the letters (letters are loosened from their original positions).
'board'+'banging'+'in'='boardbangingin'
'boardbangingin' is an anagram of 'BROBDINGNAGIAN'.
(Another definition for brobdingnagian that I've seen is " Born big".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
