Force express pleasure, setting up Twitter (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chirrup

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

'twitter' is the definition.
(I know that twitter can be written as chirrup)

'force express pleasure setting up' is the wordplay.
'force express' becomes 'chi' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'pleasure' becomes 'purr' (I have seen 'Express pleasure ' mean 'purr' so perhaps 'pleasure' could also mean 'purr').
'setting up' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'purr' in reverse letter order is 'rrup'.
'chi'+'rrup'='CHIRRUP'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chirrup that I've seen before include "Bird's noise" , "Cheep" , "Make high-pitched sounds" , "Make series of notes like grasshopper" , "Sound made by a bird" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
