British eggs on the up? Excellent! (5)
I believe the answer is:
bravo
'british eggs on the up? excellent' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'british eggs on the up?' is the wordplay.
'british' becomes 'br' (abbreviation for British).
'eggs' becomes 'ova' (term for egg cells).
'on the up?' is a reversal indicator (I've seen 'on the up' mean this (in a down clue, letters go up)).
'ova' in reverse letter order is 'avo'.
'br'+'avo'='BRAVO'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bravo that I've seen before include "Expression of approval" , "Radio code word for B" , "West Indian cricket captain" , ""Well done, old chap!"" , "Hurrah!" .)
