John follows Georgia? Time for uncouth type? (6)
I believe the answer is:
galoot
'uncouth type?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'john follows georgia? time' is the wordplay.
'john' becomes 'loo' (loo is a kind of john).
'follows' says to put letters next to each other.
'georgia?' becomes 'ga' (abbreviation for the US state).
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'loo' after 'ga' is 'galoo'.
'galoo'+'t'='GALOOT'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
