Swearing awfully about new meeting (9)
I believe the answer is:
answering
'meeting' is the definition.
(answering is a kind of meeting)
'swearing awfully about new' is the wordplay.
'awfully' indicates anagramming the letters.
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'new' becomes 'n'.
'swearing' anagrammed gives 'answerig'.
'answerig' going around 'n' is 'ANSWERING'.
(Other definitions for answering that I've seen before include "Picking up receiver" , "Acknowledging" , "Responding" , "Replying" .)
