'blunt' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'punk's too giddy about leading part for emily' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'part' could be 'ut' (ut is a kind of part) and 'ut' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
