Anxious sheep following that bloke (3,2)
I believe the answer is:
het up
'anxious' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'sheep following that bloke' is the wordplay.
'sheep' becomes 'tup' (tup is a kind of sheep).
'following' says to put letters next to each other.
'that bloke' becomes 'he' ('he' refers to a man).
'tup' after 'he' is 'HET UP'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for het up that I've seen before include "Upset, agitated" , "On edge - agitated" , "Angry - agitated" , "Overwrought" , "Angry - excited" .)
