So-and-so born on boat (8)
I believe the answer is:
blighter
This clue might be a double definition.
'so-and-so' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'born on boat' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for blighter that I've seen before include "irritating person" , "Beggar" , "(Wretched) fellow" , "irritating guy" , "Villain" .)
