Too bashful to go to the job centre? (4-3)
I believe the answer is:
work-shy
'to the job centre?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'too bashful to go' is the wordplay.
'too bashful' becomes 'shy' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'too' bit.**).
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'go' becomes 'work' (working is a kind of going).
'shy' put after 'work' is 'WORK-SHY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for work-shy that I've seen before include "Indisposed to labour" , "Lazy" .)
