The whole clue is the definition (& lit or double definition).
How the clue works
Balderdash, lies and hooey from the start works on two levels at once — the whole phrase describes nonsense, which is exactly what BLAH means, so it's both the definition and the wordplay. "From the start" signals you want the opening letters, and the first letters of Balderdash, Lies, And, Hooey spell it right out.
