Straight from the hip old German (5)
I believe the answer is:
frank
This clue might be a double definition.
'straight from the hip' is the first definition.
'frank' can be an answer for 'straight' (both can mean honest and direct). I'm not sure about the 'from the hip' bit.
'old german' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for frank that I've seen before include "stamp" , "Open" , "Blunt; honest" , "Outspoken" , "Old German" .)
