Comments on the clue
1.Presumably meant to be 'off'? In the Sunday Times comp recently a good clue lost out because of a spelling error!
2.Should "of" have been "off"?
3.Very clever, but surely "of" needs to be OFF
4.Make that 2 defs, with (admirably succinct) wordplay in between. Bonus definitions can seem like padding (as here) where WP included.
