Older male upset, getting nothing for a perfect example (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
role model
'a perfect example' is the definition.
(a role model sets a good example)
'older male upset getting nothing' is the wordplay.
'male' becomes 'm' (common abbreviation).
'upset' is an anagram indicator.
'getting' indicates putting letters inside.
'nothing' becomes 'ole' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'older'+'m'='olderm'
'olderm' anagrammed gives 'rmodel'.
'rmodel' enclosing 'ole' is 'ROLE-MODEL'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for role model that I've seen before include "Person looked on by others as an example to be imitated" , "someone worthy of imitation" , "exemplary type" , "Person to imitate" , "One's imitated" .)
