Welcome to Clueless 521

The idea is to compose a cryptic clue for a given word or phrase.
Multiple entries may be made and new competitors are particularly welcome.

The winner of this week’s competition will set the word to be clued and judge the entries next week.

The judge’s decision is final and reasons may or may not be given. It is customary for the judge to award a virtual prize to the winner.

Clues should be submitted by 9:00 pm (UK time) on Wednesday, April 7th. Result and award ceremony will follow an hour or so afterwards.

This week's challenge is:

SOFT SOAP (4,4)
or
SOFT-SOAP (4-4)

Good luck.

Flatter a cleaner (4,4)

Play piano for money (4-4)

Flatter pensioner following paper in distress (4,4)

Drunkard captured loud eastenders insincerity (4,4)

Fatso goes wild in soggy bread and butter (4-4)

(Apologies ...)

Ass of top potential? I’d say so! (4-4)

This might be made from oil? (4-4)

This might be used to rub you up the right way? (4,4)

(Not trying to depress you - just too late to use "fatso" where the clue would have been more jolly)


So fat, so broken and poor, might get a stroke (4,4)
