Sailor seen with Her Maj grabbing posh bloke giving the fingers? (7)
I believe the answer is:
saluter
'sailor' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'with her maj grabbing posh bloke giving the fingers?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'her' could be 'sal' and 'sal' is located in the answer.
'posh' could be 'u' (abbreviation for upper-class - opposite to non-u) and 'u' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'seen' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
