Flexible western dropout? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

whippy

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'flexible' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'western dropout?' is the wordplay.
'western' becomes 'w'.
'dropout?' becomes 'hippy' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'w'+'hippy'='WHIPPY'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for whippy that I've seen is " flexible".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
