Minor offence (12)

There are a few possibilities for this:

Which length description are you looking for?:

11 12

slight

I believe this is a double definition.

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

'offence' is the second definition.
(I know that slight is a type of rebuff)

(Other definitions for slight that I've seen before include "Insignificant, flimsy" , "Small in extent" , "of no great significance" , "Minor - affront" , "Disregard - snub" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
