Being stupid, throw dirt over book (4)
I believe the answer is:
shot
I believe this clue is a sextuple definition!!!
'being' is the first definition.
(I know that shot is a type of chance)
'stupid' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'throw' is the third definition.
(shot is a kind of throw)
'dirt' is the fourth definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'over' is the fifth definition.
(thesaurus)
'book' is the sixth definition.
(thesaurus)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for shot that I've seen before include "Fired; (be) rid (of)" , "Lead pellet" , "Attempt (to kill?)" , "small amount of booze" , "completely gone" .)
