Crossword Genius

Show contempt for skewer (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spit

I believe this is a double definition.

'show contempt' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'skewer' is the second definition.
(spit is a kind of skewer)

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for spit that I've seen before include "Narrow strip of land projecting into the sea" , "cook a roast?" , "Show disdain" , "Sand bar" , "Coastal feature, tongue of sand" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Daily Express.
