One taking the piss out of British hierarchy? (7)
I believe the answer is:
bladder
'one taking the piss out' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'british hierarchy?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'british' could be 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in 'BBC') and 'b' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'ladder' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bladder that I've seen before include "Inflated bag" , "Chamber" , "Bag containing liquid or gas" , "organ" , "Distensible sac" .)
