Man, pretentious or friendly? (6)
I believe the answer is:
hearty
'friendly?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'man pretentious' is the wordplay.
'man' becomes 'he'.
'pretentious' becomes 'arty' ('arty' can be similar in meaning to 'pretentious').
'he'+'arty'='HEARTY'
'or' is the link.
(Other definitions for hearty that I've seen before include "Having gusto" , "Enthusiastic and sincere" , "Hale and - -" , "Vocally cordial in earthy way" , "Exuberant" .)
