Expert in smut, say, mostly I go dancing around clubs (10)
I believe the answer is:
mycologist
'expert in smut' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'mostly i go dancing around clubs' is the wordplay.
'dancing' indicates an anagram.
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'clubs' becomes 'c' (abbreviation in card games).
'mostly'+'i'+'go'='mostlyigo'
'mostlyigo' with letters rearranged gives 'myologist'.
'myologist' going around 'c' is 'MYCOLOGIST'.
'say' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
