Silly fellow getting time and support accepted (4-5)
I believe the answer is:
bird-brain
'silly fellow' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'time and support accepted' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 'bird' (both are slang for a prison sentence).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'support' becomes 'bra' (a support for the breasts).
'accepted' becomes 'in' (I've seen this in other clues).
'bird'+'bra'+'in'='BIRD-BRAIN'
'getting' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
