Seepy spoof rankles shop (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
get smart
'seepy spoof' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'rankles shop' is the wordplay.
'rankles' becomes 'gets' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'shop' becomes 'mart' (I've seen this in another clue).
'gets'+'mart'='GET SMART'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
