Flier in a football jersey (4)
I believe the answer is:
wasp
This could be a double definition.
'flier' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'a football jersey' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wasp that I've seen before include "Stingy type" , "Striped stinger" , "Swap for a stinging insect" , "type dominant across the pond" , "Insect often irritating in summer" .)
