Maverick to censor broadcast about dilapidated shack (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
black sheep
'maverick' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'censor broadcast about dilapidated shack' is the wordplay.
'censor broadcast' becomes 'bleep' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'broadcast' bit.).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'dilapidated' is an anagram indicator.
'shack' is an anagram of 'acksh'.
'bleep' going around 'acksh' is 'BLACK SHEEP'.
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for black sheep that I've seen before include "Owner of wool" , "Disgraced family member" , "Disreputable member of family or peer group" , "ostracised family member" , "Dodgy character" .)
