    Worked the clue to solve this but didn't understand the definition. Watching the video didn't help much either. Then I googled the answer and suddenly realised how oblivious I was being!!

    classic misdirection, the words have multiple meanings, and the obvious ones aren't always the ones being referenced!!

    Spent a while focusing on the wrong "definition"! Sometimes you just need to take a step back and start over

    sometimes the short ones are difficult because there could be so many options or places to find answers

    I was misinterpreting the first part of the clue, using the wrong kind of wordplay. Once the hint gave me the correct wordplay for that first part, it was an easy solve. Almost solved on definition but second guessed myself
