Idiot parent ignoring last notice (7)
I believe the answer is:
fathead
'idiot' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'parent ignoring last notice' is the wordplay.
'parent' becomes 'father' (type of parent).
'ignoring last' means to remove the last letter.
'notice' becomes 'ad' (short for advert).
'father' with its final letter taken off is 'fathe'.
'fathe'+'ad'='FATHEAD'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fathead that I've seen before include "Charlie" , "silly ass!" , "Dimwit" , "Stupid person" , "Fool" .)
