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

'filth' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'or rude farce' is the wordplay.
'or rude' can be anagrammed to 'ORDURE'.
But, I'm unsure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ordure that I've seen before include "Dung, filth" , "soil" , "unclean" , "Dirt" , "Excrement" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
