Rudely kissed bosom is reported (6)
I believe the answer is:
bussed
'rudely kissed' is the definition.
'bussed' can be an answer for 'kissed' ('buss' can be a synonym of 'kiss'). I am not sure about the 'rudely' bit.
'bosom is reported' is the wordplay.
'bosom' becomes 'bust' (I've seen this before).
'is reported' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'bust' sounds like 'BUSSED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for bussed that I've seen is " transported by coach".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
