Rising GBH can get higher, but lower with one? (5-3)
I believe the answer is:
punch-bag
'lower with one?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'rising gbh can get higher' is the wordplay.
'rising' becomes 'pu' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'get higher' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'gets high' mean this (high can mean drunk)).
'gbh'+'can'='gbhcan'
'gbhcan' with letters rearranged gives 'nchbag'.
'pu'+'nchbag'='PUNCH-BAG'
'but' is the link.
