Having less hair to tear? Nonsense (10)
I believe the answer is:
balderdash
'nonsense' is the definition.
(I know that balderdash is a type of nonsense)
'having less hair to tear?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'tear?' could be 'dash' (synonyms) and 'dash' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'balder' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for balderdash that I've seen before include "stupid talk" , "tripe" , "rot" , "Bunk" , "Nonsense" .)
