Typhoid
‘Literal’ is a printing term meaning misplaced letter - typo
id is mInD odd(ly) letters rejected
H - slang for heroin
Typhoid - typo id taking h.
'literal' = TYPO drug = H[eroin] + mInD
COVE backwards EVOCATIVE
But where is the definition for 'evocative'?
You would have to ask someone who's done the puzzle (perhaps Fizi will get back to you) but the wordplay is pretty clear -
Ebay = E+COVE [upset = EVOCE] about A TV I ['flogged' is the anagram indicator].
I'm assuming Fizi overlooked the apostrophe, because it should be 'Ebay's...' so maybe there's a defining word missing also (and 'evocation' was offered as a possible answer, which might mean the clue is linked to another clue.
Hope you get an answer.
