tight spot

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'scrape' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'lady's underwear with marmite?' is the wordplay.
'lady's underwear' becomes 'tights' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'marmite?' becomes 'pot' (marmite is a kind of pot).
'tights'+'pot'='TIGHT SPOT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tight spot that I've seen before include "predicament" , "Fix" , "hole" , "Difficult situation" .)
