Reprimand Scots man breaking a plate (8)
I believe the answer is:
admonish
'reprimand' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'scots man breaking a plate' is the wordplay.
'scots man' becomes 'mon' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'breaking' indicates putting letters inside.
'plate' becomes 'dish' (type of plate).
'a'+'dish'='adish'
'mon' going inside 'adish' is 'ADMONISH'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for admonish that I've seen before include "Chide, reprove" , "Scold, wag the finger at" , "Reprove, take to task" , "Reprove, warn" , "Chide or reprimand" .)
