Poor fellows confused by bosh about love (5)
I believe the answer is:
hobos
'poor fellows confused' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'bosh about love' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates an anagram.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'bosh' anagrammed with 'o' makes 'HOBOS'.
'by' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for hobos that I've seen is " Tramps".)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
