Make fun of the fare? (5)
I believe the answer is:
scoff
This clue is a double definition.
'make fun of' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'fare?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
'the' is the link.
(Other definitions for scoff that I've seen before include "Eat like a pig" , "taunt" , "Deride - guzzle" , "Ridicule - guzzle" , "Speak contemptuously or drink informally" .)
