Crossword Genius

Bloody stupid former pupil (3,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

old boy

'former pupil' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'bloody stupid' is the wordplay.
'stupid' indicates anagramming the letters (in a stupid order).
'bloody' is an anagram of 'OLD BOY'.

(Other definitions for old boy that I've seen before include "Former member of a school" , "Former pupil - kind of network" , "Male ex-pupil" , "Mate" , "Male former pupil" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
