Contrary lad with personal problem? (5)
I believe the answer is:
yobbo
'contrary lad with personal problem?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'contrary lad with personal problem?' is the wordplay.
'contrary' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'lad' becomes 'boy' (I've seen this before).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'personal problem?' becomes 'bo' (informal abbreviation for body odour).
'boy' in reverse letter order is 'yob'.
'yob'+'bo'='YOBBO'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for yobbo that I've seen before include "Surly youth" , "Hooligan" , "Thug" , "Tough bloke" , "Lout" .)
