Like a man, agreed to block the French in error (8)
I believe the answer is:
blokeish
'like a man' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'agreed to block the french in error' is the wordplay.
'agreed' becomes 'ok' (eg when responding to an offer).
'to block' indicates putting letters inside (block can mean to fill a hole in something).
'the french' becomes 'le' ('the' in French).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'error' becomes 'bish' (term for a blunder or mistake).
'ok' placed into 'le' is 'loke'.
'loke' going into 'bish' is 'BLOKEISH'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for blokeish that I've seen before include "not at all girly" , "Like fellow" .)
