Provocative article about something that's boring (3,3)
I believe the answer is:
red rag
'provocative article' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'about something that's boring' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' ('re' means regarding or about).
'something that's boring' becomes 'drag' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
're'+'drag'='RED RAG'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for red rag that I've seen before include "might attract a charge" , "Bull incitor?" , "Reputed to annoy bull" , "Gerard (anag) - cause of infuriation" , "Source of extreme provocation" .)
