Are there such penalties for being difficult? (5)
I believe the answer is:
stiff
'being difficult?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stiff that I've seen before include "Difficult" , "Not giving" , "Formal" , "Frigid" , "Unyielding" .)
