Loud, tasteless, but good at splitting hairs? (6)
I believe the answer is:
garish
'loud tasteless' is the definition.
'garish' can be an answer for 'tasteless' (similar in meaning). I am not sure about the 'loud' bit.
'good at splitting hairs?' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'at' says to put letters next to each other.
'splitting' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'split' mean this (letters split up and reassembled)).
'hairs' anagrammed gives 'arish'.
'g'+'arish'='GARISH'
'but' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for garish that I've seen before include "Tastelessly bright" , "Overly ostentatious" , "Gaudy, over-decorated" , "Crudely bright" , "Colourful in a vulgar manner" .)
