Kid the man sees here and there (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tease

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'kid' is the definition.
(both can mean to mock)

'man sees here and there' is the wordplay.
'man' becomes 'tea' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'here and there' means one should take alternating letters (here and then can mean regularly).
The alternate letters of 'sees' are 'se'.
'tea'+'se'='TEASE'

'the' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tease that I've seen before include "Kid" , "Comb or card (wool)" , "Chaff" , "Pull leg of" , "Twit - flirt" .)
