Exhibitionist who so shocked two females (4-3)
I believe the answer is:
show-off
'exhibitionist' is the definition.
(I know that exhibitionist can be written as show-off)
'who so shocked two females' is the wordplay.
'shocked' is an anagram indicator (letters are shocked or disrupted).
'two females' becomes 'ff' (an abbreviation for female written twice).
'who'+'so'='whoso'
'whoso' with letters rearranged gives 'showo'.
'showo'+'ff'='SHOW-OFF'
(Another definition for show-off that I've seen is " Ostentatious exhibitionist".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
