Regularly he suffered from tickling parrot's ass (9)
I believe the answer is:
doddypoll
'regularly he suffered from tickling' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'parrot's ass' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'parrot' could be 'poll' (poll is a kind of parrot) and 'poll' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'doddy' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
