Bad marks for being crass? (5)
I believe the answer is:
scars
'bad marks' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with contact as well as being verbs in their -s form.
I also know that 'marks' relates to this answer.
'being crass?' is the wordplay.
'crass' can be anagrammed to 'SCARS'.
Though, I am not clear how this is indicated.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for scars that I've seen is " Marks left by wounds".)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
