So, about uppity god (4)
I believe the answer is:
eros
'god' is the definition.
(Eros is an example)
'so about uppity' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' (regarding).
'uppity' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'so'+'re'='sore'
'sore' written backwards gives 'EROS'.
(Other definitions for eros that I've seen before include "Greek love-god" , "Orbiter" , "Greek equivalent to Roman Cupid" , "Arrow shooter" , "Piccadilly 14 ac statue" .)
