One-time press boss is stuck (6)
I believe the answer is:
pasted
'is stuck' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'one-time press boss' is the wordplay.
'one time' becomes 'past' (past is a kind of time).
'press boss' becomes 'ed' (I've seen this in other clues).
'past'+'ed'='PASTED'
(Another definition for pasted that I've seen is " Thrashed - glued".)
I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
