Ross

I believe the answer is:

roger

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

'got it' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'something on plate men sent back?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'something' could be 'er' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'er' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for roger that I've seen before include "Romeo's predecessor" , "Received (in radio comms)" , "R in telecommunications" , "acknowledgement of message received?" , "I get you" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
