Clowns (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

buffoons

'clowns' is the definition.
('buffoon' can be a synonym of 'clown')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for buffoons that I've seen before include "Rude or vulgar fools" , "Clowns or dolts" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
