With "Doctor, oh dear, I'm clumsy!” slumps down (6)
I believe the answer is:
droops
'i'm clumsy slumps down' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'with doctor oh dear' is the wordplay.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'doctor' becomes 'Dr' (abbreviation).
'oh dear' becomes 'oops' (both are said in recognition of a mistake).
'dr' next to 'oops' is 'DROOPS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for droops that I've seen before include "Sags through tiredness" , "Languishes" , "Grows weak and hangs down" , "'Sags, wilts (6)'" , "Hangs loosely or laxly" .)
