I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'old swinger' is the definition.
'pendulum' can be an answer for 'swinger' (something which swings). I am not sure about the 'old' bit.

'nude lump possibly?' is the wordplay.
'possibly?' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'possibly' mean this).
'nude'+'lump'='nudelump'
'nudelump' is an anagram of 'PENDULUM'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pendulum that I've seen before include "Vacillator" , "Moves to and fro" , "It swings to and fro as in old clock" , "Swinging device used to regulate clock" , "A swinging weight as in old clock" .)
