Something you shouldn't take lying down? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

polygraph

(Other definitions for polygraph that I've seen before include "Electronic instrument used as a lie detector" , "Machine used as lie detector" , "Shower of pork pies" , "Lie-detector machine" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
