Crossword Genius

Stupid dopes just sat (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

posed

'sat' is the definition.
('pose' can be a synonym of 'sit')

'stupid dopes' is the wordplay.
'stupid' indicates an anagram (in a stupid order).
'dopes' anagrammed gives 'POSED'.

'just' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for posed that I've seen before include "Took a stance" , "Positioned" , "Arranged for pictorial purposes" , "Presented (a question)" , "Modelled" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
