Chap called after girl, one amused by a drunk (1,3,5,3)
I believe the answer is:
a boy named sue
'chap called after girl' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'one amused by a drunk' is the wordplay.
'drunk' indicates anagramming the letters.
'one'+'amused'+'by'+'a'='oneamusedbya'
'oneamusedbya' with letters rearranged gives 'A BOY NAMED SUE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
