Clever Dick's alias? (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
smart alec
'clever dick's' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for smart alec that I've seen before include "Clever Dick" , "Clever sort" , "Know-all" , "Clever person" , "insufferable type" .)
