Funny Idle (4)
I believe the answer is:
eric
'funny idle' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for eric that I've seen before include "Blair, perhaps" , "--, or Little by Little (Dean Farrar)" , ".... the Red, Norwegian explorer who discovered Greenland in 10th century" , "Cantona or Clapton?" , "-- Idle, comedian" .)
