Soap, perhaps (3)
I believe the answer is:
joe
'soap perhaps' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
This is the entire clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for joe that I've seen before include "-- Bloggs, ordinary man" , "Short for Joseph" , "-- Orton, playwright" , "Boy's name" , "- Bloggs; - Public" .)
