How the clue works
Look at one that's a bit stiff? — that's your definition, a cheeky nod to the famously formal, posh speech we call Oxford English. The wordplay builds it up piece by piece: shoe gives you OXFORD (a type of shoe), and tongue gives you ENGLISH (a language is a tongue, after all), and you just put them together.
