Revolutionary addressing African dictator of little brain (5)
I believe the answer is:
idiot
'little brain' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'revolutionary addressing african dictator' is the wordplay.
'revolutionary' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (letters revolve around).
'addressing' becomes 'to' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'african dictator' becomes 'Idi' (Ugandan dictator Idi Amin).
'to'+'idi'='toidi'
'toidi' backwards is 'IDIOT'.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for idiot that I've seen before include "Ass, nincompoop" , "Silly ass" , "Dunce" , "Goose" , "Dipstick" .)
