Thanks man for being accepted (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

taken

'being accepted' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'thanks man' is the wordplay.
'thanks' becomes 'ta' (UK informal version of 'thank you').
'man' becomes 'ken' (short for Kenneth).
'ta'+'ken'='TAKEN'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for taken that I've seen before include "Transported" , "Appropriated" , "Charmed" , "Removed, accepted" , "Kidnapped" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
