Crossword Genius

Approach large bull (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

drivel

'bull' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'approach large' is the wordplay.
'approach' becomes 'drive' (a driveway is an approach to a house).
'large' becomes 'L' (eg in clothes sizes).
'drive'+'l'='DRIVEL'

(Other definitions for drivel that I've seen before include "Foolish talk" , "Gibberish" , "Nonsense, garbage" , "Tosh" , "Spoken nonsense" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
