I believe the answer is:

wardrobe malfunction

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'it could be an unexpected revelation' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'bore draw possibly?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'bore' is 'robe' which is located in the answer.
an anagram of 'draw' is 'ward' which is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'malfunction' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for wardrobe malfunction that I've seen is " It reveals".)
