Bucket boy got from cleaning lady by dishonesty (7)
I believe the answer is:
charlie
'bucket boy' is the definition.
'Charlie' can be an answer for 'boy'. I am not certain of the 'bucket' bit.
'cleaning lady by dishonesty' is the wordplay.
'cleaning lady' becomes 'char' (synonyms).
'by dishonesty' becomes 'lie' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'char'+'lie'='CHARLIE'
'got from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for charlie that I've seen before include "Cocaine (colloq.), fool (colloq.)" , "Fool; C (radio comms)" , "Comms code C" , "-- Chaplin" , "Fool - drug (slang)" .)
