Realised I'm unfit to be out of uniform (2,5)
I believe the answer is:
in mufti
'uniform' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'realised i'm unfit to be out' is the wordplay.
'realised' becomes 'm' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'i'm' becomes 'i' (I've seen this in other clues).
'to be' indicates anagramming the letters.
'out' indicates putting letters inside.
'i'+'unfit'='iunfit'
'iunfit' anagrammed gives 'inufti'.
'm' placed inside 'inufti' is 'IN MUFTI'.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
