Be indecisive talking of stupid girl in pub? (12)
I believe the answer is:
shillyshally
'be' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with fundamental existence as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'indecisive talking of stupid girl in pub?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'girl' could be 'hally' and 'hally' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for shillyshally that I've seen is " Hesitate".)
