Girl happy to meet with Yankees (6)
I believe the answer is:
gladys
'girl' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'happy to meet with yankees' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'happy' could be 'glad' (synonyms) and 'glad' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gladys that I've seen before include "- Knight and the Pips (Motown)" , "- Cooper, Eng. actress" , "Lady's name" , "Female name" , "Girl's name" .)
