Silly person gets a lump (4)

I believe the answer is:

clot

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'silly person' is the first definition.

'a lump' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'gets' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for clot that I've seen before include "3 [DUMMY]" , "(Of blood) solidify" , "Clumsy person" , "Coagulate - fool" , "Twit; blood problem" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
