Was a teaser scruffy? (6)
I believe the answer is:
ragged
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'was a teaser' is the first definition.
(rag can mean to tease)
'scruffy?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for ragged that I've seen before include "Wearing torn clothes or lacking smoothness" , "down at heel" , "Dressed in torn clothes" , "Tattered and torn" , "Made or performed unevenly" .)
