Name a sailor briefly associated with Hooters? (5)
I believe the answer is:
nasal
'associated with hooters?' is the definition.
(hooter can mean someone's nose)
'name a sailor briefly' is the wordplay.
'name' becomes 'na' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'a sailor' becomes 'salt' (salt is a kind of sailor).
'briefly' means to remove the last letter.
'salt' with its last letter taken away is 'sal'.
'na'+'sal'='NASAL'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nasal that I've seen before include "Relating to the nose" , "old face-saver" , "regarding the nose" , "To do with nose, say sound" , "Relating to a facial organ" .)
