Old fellow adjusted his fly in a cool way (8)
I believe the answer is:
offishly
'in a cool way' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'old fellow adjusted his fly' is the wordplay.
'old' becomes 'o' (abbreviation).
'fellow' becomes 'F' (abbreviation - of a society etc.).
'adjusted' is an anagram indicator.
'his'+'fly'='hisfly'
'hisfly' anagrammed gives 'fishly'.
'o'+'f'+'fishly'='OFFISHLY'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
