Gullible Romeo on the whisky waited outside (6-4)
I believe the answer is:
starry-eyed
'gullible' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'romeo on the whisky waited outside' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'romeo' could be 'r' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.) and 'r' is found within the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is located in the answer.
'whisky' could be 'rye' (rye is a kind of whisky) and 'rye' is found within 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 starry-eyed that I've seen before include "Naively enthusiastic" , "Out of touch with reality" , "Naively idealistic" , "Romantically optimistic" , "Full of unsophisticated optimism" .)
