Quip about pout somehow exploited (3,4)
I believe the answer is:
put upon
'exploited' is the definition.
(I know that exploited can be written as put-upon)
'quip about pout somehow' is the wordplay.
'quip' becomes 'pun' (I've seen this in other clues).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'somehow' indicates anagramming the letters.
'pout' is an anagram of 'tupo'.
'pun' enclosing 'tupo' is 'PUT-UPON'.
(Other definitions for put upon that I've seen before include "Inconvenienced" , "Imposed on, taken advantage of" , "Take advantage of" , "as Cinderella was" , "Place on top of - or exploit" .)
