Some slob mashed up local's BLT? (5)
I believe the answer is:
sambo
'local's blt?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'some slob mashed up' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some parts of the word are used).
'up' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (in down clue: letters go upwards).
'obmas' is hidden within 'slob mashed'.
'obmas' reversed gives 'SAMBO'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for sambo that I've seen is " Wrestling".)
