Uptight sailor and Parisian to go home with a stage star (5,9)
I believe the answer is:
prima ballerina
'star' is the definition.
(I have seen 'athletic star' mean 'prima ballerina' so perhaps 'star' could also mean 'prima ballerina')
'uptight sailor and parisian to go home with a stage' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'uptight' could be 'prim' (prim can mean proper or uptight) and 'prim' is found within the answer.
'sailor' could be 'ab' (abbreviation for able seaman) and 'ab' is found within the answer.
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is present in the answer.
'a' is within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for prima ballerina that I've seen before include "athletic star" , "Chief female dancer" .)
