Drunk embracing central Glasgow resident, say (4)
I believe the answer is:
scot
'glasgow resident say' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'drunk embracing central' is the wordplay.
'drunk' becomes 'sot' (both can mean someone who drinks too much).
'embracing' indicates putting letters inside.
'central' becomes 'c' (common abbreviation in various government acronyms).
'sot' going around 'c' is 'SCOT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scot that I've seen before include "Eg, a Glaswegian" , "National" , "Highlander, say" , "North Briton" , "Eg, Glasgow native" .)
