Dancing a cancan, quite intimate? Not quite! (12)
I believe the answer is:
acquaintance
'intimate? not quite' is the definition.
'acquaintance' can be an answer for 'intimate?' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'not quite' bit.
'dancing a cancan quite' is the wordplay.
'dancing' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'cancan'+'quite'='acancanquite'
'acancanquite' anagrammed gives 'ACQUAINTANCE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for acquaintance that I've seen before include "Person known, but not a close friend" , "Familiarity" , "Person known slightly" , "Person one knows slightly" , "Person one knows, but not a close friend" .)
