Awkward English gathered around boozer, right? (11)
I believe the answer is:
embarrassed
'awkward' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'english gathered around boozer right?' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'gathered' becomes 'massed' (I've seen this before**).
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'boozer' becomes 'bar'.
'right?' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'bar'+'r'='barr'
'massed' placed around 'barr' is 'mbarrassed'.
'e'+'mbarrassed'='EMBARRASSED'
(Other definitions for embarrassed that I've seen before include "Red faced" , "Red-faced" , "Shamed" , "Humiliated" , "Made to feel awkward" .)
