Ross

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

8

2,2,4

as it were

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">so to speak</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(synonyms)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for as it were that I've seen before include "Just like if really so" , "In a kind of way" , "In a manner of speaking" , "In sort of" , "So to speak" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, The Telegraph, the LA Times, The Times, The Sun and the Sydney Morning Herald.
