Rubbish - rub out mistake! (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bish

'mistake' is the definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)

'rubbish rub out' is the wordplay.
'out' suggests deleting specific letters.
'rubbish' with 'rub' taken out is 'BISH'.

(Other definitions for bish that I've seen before include "Blunder" , "Common mistake" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
