Trifles with some fat oyster (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

toys

'trifles' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'with some fat oyster' is the wordplay.
'with' indicates a hidden word.
'TOYS' is hidden in the letters of 'some fat oyster'.

(Other definitions for toys that I've seen before include "Sports" , "Plays (with something), not seriously" , "Children's playthings" , "dolls, for example" , "Trifles with playthings" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
