Does he bear the yolk on his shoulders? (7)
I believe the answer is:
egghead
This might be a double definition.
'does he bear' is the first definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'yolk on his shoulders?' is the second definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for egghead that I've seen before include "Heed gag about slang intellectual" , "Intellectual, studious academic" , "Very clever person" , "where soldiers may take a dip?" , "providing access to soldiers" .)
