Rude message about church employee (6)
I believe the answer is:
sexton
'church employee' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'rude message about' is the wordplay.
'rude message' becomes 'sext' (I have seen 'Explicit message' mean 'sext' so perhaps 'message' could also mean 'sext'. I am not sure about the 'rude' bit.).
'about' becomes 'on' (as in a book 'on' a certain topic).
'sext'+'on'='SEXTON'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sexton that I've seen before include "Church official" , "Graveyard employee" , "One might dig" , "They went and told the -, and / The - tolled the bell (Thomas Hood)" , "Officer of the church on the Irish rugby team?" .)
