beau

'certain squeeze' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for beau that I've seen before include "Male lover of a girl or young woman" , "Handsome man" , "French boyfriend" , "Beloved" , "Dandy - attentive companion" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
