CLUELESS 234

Welcome to Clueless, our informal weekly clue-setting competition

The idea is to compose a cryptic clue to a given word or phrase

The winner of the previous week's competition both sets the word to be clued and judges the entries for the current week

The decision is final and reasons may or may not be given at the judge's discretion
It is customary for the judge to donate a virtual prize to the winner

Multiple entries may be submitted and new competitors are particularly welcome

this week's answer is

BADINAGE (8)

Clues to be submitted by 10pm on Wednesday 30 September with the winner being announced shortly after

Please explain your clue if it is particularly devious

Have fun
