Repeat standard rubbish (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

parrot

'repeat' is the definition.
(parroting is a kind of repeating)

'standard rubbish' is the wordplay.
'standard' becomes 'par' (I've seen this before).
'rubbish' becomes 'rot' (I've seen this before).
'par'+'rot'='PARROT'

(Other definitions for parrot that I've seen before include "Bright tropical bird" , "Tropical bird noted for mimicking speech" , "Mimic like exotic bird" , "Squawking bird" , "Long John Silver's Captain Flint" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
