Scoundrel soon sad after beating (2-3-2)
I believe the answer is:
so-and-so
'scoundrel' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'soon sad after beating' is the wordplay.
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'beating' indicates an anagram.
'soon'+'sad'='soonsad'
'soonsad' is an anagram of 'SO-AND-SO'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for so-and-so that I've seen before include "Thus and thus - an unpleasant person" , "Right little rascal!" , "Someone or other - unpleasant person!" , "Person unspecified or abjured" , "What's-his-name; a nuisance" .)
