Name of the man crossing the street against the traffic lights? (3,6)
I believe the answer is:
jay walker
'crossing the street against the traffic lights?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'name of the man' is the wordplay.
'name' becomes 'Jay'.
'of the man' becomes 'walker' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'jay'+'walker'='JAY-WALKER'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
