Scrap university degree in a fit of pique (7)
I believe the answer is:
snippet
'scrap' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'university degree in a fit of pique' is the wordplay.
'university degree' becomes 'ppe' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'a fit of pique' becomes 'snit' (I've seen this in another clue).
'ppe' inserted within 'snit' is 'SNIPPET'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for snippet that I've seen before include "Bit (of info?)" , "Small fragment" , "A small piece cut off" , "excerpt of literature?" , "little bit" .)
