This is a competition for clue setters. The idea (like Clueless) is to set a cryptic clue to a given answer. You can look up "cryptic crossword" on Wikipedia if you are new to the game and don't understand that term. This is a great opportunity for new setters as you are guaranteed feedback on your clue if you ask for it (and maybe also if you don't).

Everyone who posts a clue gets to comment on the clues AND vote for the winner (not yourself). Multiple entries are welcome. You MUST post a clue for your vote to count. One vote per contestant – please state the post number you are voting for.
The entry with the most qualifying votes wins and sets next week’s PEER REVIEW. In the event of a tie the setter chooses the winner.

Non-entrants' votes will be ignored.

There is a (roughly) one day time frame. Your clue must be posted by 1.30pm Friday; voting opens at 1.30pm Friday. The voting deadline is 4.30pm Friday, the winner to be announced shortly afterwards. The setter donates an online prize. The setter reserves the right to change the rules in order to deal with unforeseen circumstances.

Feel free to include an explanation of your clue just in case solver-voters cannot appreciate your clue.

The answer to be clued this week is Threadbare.

Good luck!

Start to relax, read, bathe, perhaps a long nap? Quite the opposite! (10)
