Overworked boss at Shoreditch paper? (9)
I believe the answer is:
hackneyed
'overworked' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'boss at shoreditch paper?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'boss' could be 'ed' (short for editor - newspaper boss) and 'ed' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'hackney' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hackneyed that I've seen before include "Overfamiliar through overuse" , "stock" , "Overworked" , "pedestrian" , "using familiar phraseology?" .)
