Ridicules the fellows (4)
I believe the answer is:
guys
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'ridicules' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'the fellows' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
(Other definitions for guys that I've seen before include "people generally" , "Ridicules by comic imitation" , "Fellows" , "Nowadays people of either sex" , "Tent ropes; people" .)
