Doctor too busy to inject country's top young explorer? (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
boy scout
'young explorer?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'doctor too busy to inject country's top' is the wordplay.
'doctor' is an anagram indicator.
'to inject' is an insertion indicator (inserted letters are injected).
'top' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'countrys' is 'c'.
'too'+'busy'='toobusy'
'toobusy' with letters rearranged gives 'boysout'.
'boysout' going around 'c' is 'BOY SCOUT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for boy scout that I've seen before include "Member of international youth organisation" , "could be going on sixteen [JAMBOREE]" , "Jamboree attendee?" , "Youngster keen to be prepared" , "Member of youth organisation, sings around campfires" .)
