Big bust

Answer:

DUD

Hint:

Not available

Explanation:

Big bust" is a clever play on words where "bust" has two meanings. Here, it hints at a failed event (a "dud") rather than a literal large chest. The word "big" emphasizes the scale of the failure, making "DUD" the perfect fit for something that flopped spectacularly. It’s a classic example of how crossword clues use double meanings to mislead.
