Handle idiot (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

knob

I believe this is a double definition.

'handle' is the first definition.
(knob is a kind of handle)

'idiot' is the second definition.
(both are insults)

(Other definitions for knob that I've seen before include "Handle or dial" , "Protuberance" , "Prominent rounded hill" , "Rounded projection" , "Round door handle or lump of butter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
