rag

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

'behaviour?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'outrageous bit' is the wordplay.
'bit' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'RAG' can be found hidden inside 'outrageous'.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rag that I've seen before include "Fun week for college students" , "Second-rate newspaper" , "Piece of cloth for student's fun" , "Torn piece of cloth or university japes" , "Piece of music" .)
