Dough, not doe! (4)
I believe the answer is:
buck
This could be a double definition.
'dough' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'doe' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
'not' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may belong to one of the definitions.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for buck that I've seen before include "Go against" , "vault" , "Jump - dollar - male deer" , "impetuous youth" , "Male beast" .)
