Discharge English bloke with a terrible fringe (7)
I believe the answer is:
emanate
'discharge' is the definition.
(I know that emanate is a more specific form of the action breathe)
'english bloke with a terrible fringe' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'bloke' becomes 'man' (informal term for a man).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'fringe' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (only the letters on the fringe).
'terrible' with its centre taken out is 'te'.
'e'+'man'+'a'+'te'='EMANATE'
(Other definitions for emanate that I've seen before include "Flow or proceed from" , "Proceed or issue forth" , "Emerge or originate" , "Come out (of source)" , "Rise" .)
