Noisy type distinctly drained after argument (5)
I believe the answer is:
rowdy
'noisy' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'distinctly drained after argument' is the wordplay.
'drained' suggests removing the centre.
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'argument' becomes 'row' (to row is to argue).
'distinctly' with its centre removed is 'dy'.
'dy' after 'row' is 'ROWDY'.
'type' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rowdy that I've seen before include "Loud and disorderly" , "Uproarious" , "Noisy and disorderly" , "Noisy and unruly" , "yob" .)
