I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'toilet engaged? it looks serious' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'toilet engaged?' is the wordplay.
'toilet' becomes 'po' (informal term for a chamber pot).
'engaged?' becomes 'faced' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'po'+'faced'='POFACED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for pofaced that I've seen is " visibly disapproving".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
