Strange role - it is what you'd expect a lounge lizard to do (6)
I believe the answer is:
loiter
'is what you'd expect a lounge lizard to do' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'strange role it' is the wordplay.
'strange' indicates an anagram.
'role'+'it'='roleit'
'roleit' with letters rearranged gives 'LOITER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for loiter that I've seen before include "be on stand-by?" , "Hang around furtively" , "Linger, with intent perhaps" , "lounge" , "Linger - lurk" .)
