Bugger study — it's very wet (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sodden

'very wet' is the definition.

'bugger study' is the wordplay.
'bugger' becomes 'sod'.
'study' becomes 'den' (I've seen this before).
'sod'+'den'='SODDEN'

'it's' is the link.

(Other definitions for sodden that I've seen before include "Waterlogged" , "Made very wet" , "Drenched, really soaked" , "Totally saturated" , "Soaked to the skin" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
