Guy - crack (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chap

I believe this is a double definition.

'guy' is the first definition.
(both can mean a man)

'crack' is the second definition.
(I know that chap is a type of crack)

(Other definitions for chap that I've seen before include "(Of skin) become sore" , "Man; (of skin) turn sore" , "Become sore; fellow" , "Man, sore patch" , "we prefer not to have on hand" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
