Making an enemy of a right awful giant (10)
I believe the answer is:
alienating
'making an enemy of' is the definition.
(to alienate is to make a bad impression on)
'a right awful giant' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'lien' (I've seen this before).
'awful' indicates anagramming the letters.
'giant' with letters rearranged gives 'ating'.
'a'+'lien'+'ating'='ALIENATING'
(Another definition for alienating that I've seen is " Turning off".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
