Jocks found in hammock among the crew? (8)
I believe the answer is:
scotsmen
'jocks' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'hammock among the crew?' is the wordplay.
'hammock' becomes 'scots' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'among' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the crew?' becomes 'men' (both can mean a group of workers).
'scots'+'men'='SCOTSMEN'
'found in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scotsmen that I've seen before include "Some from north of the border" , "Jock, Angus, Rob and their like" .)
