Smart man some male chauvinist? (4)
I believe the answer is:
alec
'smart man' is the definition.
'Alec' can be an answer for 'man' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'smart' bit.
'some male chauvinist?' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'ALEC' can be found hidden inside 'male chauvinist'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for alec that I've seen before include "Boy's name (a smart one?)" , "Actor Guinness is smart" , "Smart man?" , "A smart . . . . is a know-all in lace" , "Smart boy?" .)
