Dull university wise men with local (13)
I believe the answer is:
unimaginative
'dull' is the definition.
('unimaginative' can be a synonym of 'dull')
'university wise men with local' is the wordplay.
'university' becomes 'uni' (I've seen this in other clues).
'wise men' becomes 'magi' (I've seen this before).
'with local' becomes 'native' ('native' can be similar in meaning to 'local'. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.**).
'uni'+'magi'+'native'='UNIMAGINATIVE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for unimaginative that I've seen before include "Lacking in mental creativity" , "Lacking invention" , "Mentally rather dull" , "Stolid, somewhat dull" .)
