Hope to curtsy? (3)
I believe the answer is:
bob
I believe this is a double definition.
'hope' is the first definition.
(comedian Bob Hope)
'to curtsy?' is the second definition.
('bob' can be a synonym of 'curtsy')
(Other definitions for bob that I've seen before include "short hair" , "Bow" , "Short haircut for an old shilling?" , "Brief curtsy - hairstyle" , "Hairstyle cut shortly and evenly all round" .)
