Crossword Genius

Father’s report (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pop

This clue is a double definition.

'father's' is the first definition.
(pop is a kind of father)

'report' is the second definition.
('report' can mean a sudden explosive noise)

(Other definitions for pop that I've seen before include "Old jingle - . . . goes the weasel" , "Cartoon sailor (showing amazement?)" , "Explode; Eton society" , "Palindrome of music for the young" , "Youthful music for dad?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
