Flunk Luis? In a way - so clumsy (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unskilful

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

'flunk luis? in a way' is the wordplay.
'in a way' indicates anagramming the letters.
'flunk'+'luis'='flunkluis'
'flunkluis' with letters rearranged gives 'UNSKILFUL'.

'so' acts as a link.

(Another definition for unskilful that I've seen is " Clumsy".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
