Old-fashioned but popular with the boys (5)
I believe the answer is:
dated
'old-fashioned' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dated that I've seen before include "Old fashioned" , "Rusty" , "Outmoded" , "Passe" , "Went out with - old hat" .)
