Crossword Genius

Crack geezer (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chap

I believe this is a double definition.

'crack' is the first definition.
('chap' can be a synonym of 'crack')

'geezer' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for chap that I've seen before include "Cracked patch (of skin) - gentleman" , "Bloke, fellow" , "Fish" , "we prefer not to have on hand" , "Sore; cheek; man" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
