Use revolting fabrication — it could help you sound believable (6,6)
I believe the answer is:
silver tongue
'it could help you sound believable' is the definition.
(someone with a silver tongue is a good liar)
'use revolting fabrication' is the wordplay.
'fabrication' indicates an anagram.
'use'+'revolting'='userevolting'
'userevolting' anagrammed gives 'SILVER TONGUE'.
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
