Southern holidaymaker is one who’s likely to peel (8)
I believe the answer is:
stripper
'one who's likely to peel' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'southern holidaymaker' is the wordplay.
'southern' becomes 's' (abbreviation).
'holidaymaker' becomes 'tripper' (tripper is a kind of holidaymaker).
's'+'tripper'='STRIPPER'
'is' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stripper that I've seen before include "Teasing performer" , "Teasing dancer" , "exotic entertainer" , "One barely entertains" , "Erotic dancer" .)
