Feral earthling, terribly flamboyant (6-4-4)
I believe the answer is:
larger-than-life
'flamboyant' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'feral earthling terribly' is the wordplay.
'terribly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'feral'+'earthling'='feralearthling'
'feralearthling' with letters rearranged gives 'LARGER-THAN-LIFE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for larger-than-life that I've seen is " Exaggerated".)
