Make fun of crude effigy (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

guy

This clue is a double definition.

'make fun of' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'crude effigy' is the second definition.
(Guy Fawkes effigy)

(Other definitions for guy that I've seen before include "Mr Fawkes" , "One burned on Nov. fifth" , "Rope; man" , "Cable, wire etc used to brace something" , "Ridicule like Fawkes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
