Pressed on, though I got embarrassed about (6)
I believe the answer is:
ironed
'pressed' is the definition.
(ironing is a kind of pressing)
'though i got embarrassed about' is the wordplay.
'though' becomes 'on' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'got' says to put letters next to each other.
'embarrassed' becomes 'red' (someone may blush or go red when embarrassed).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'i'+'red'='ired'
'on' put inside 'ired' is 'IRONED'.
'on' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ironed that I've seen before include "Had an evening out" , "Removed creases" , "Pressed and smoothed" , "Smoothed cloth with flatbased implement" , "Smoothed out wrinkles" .)
