Very funny way of conveying your disdain to an actor (4)
I believe the answer is:
hoot
'very funny way' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both human attributes as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'of conveying your disdain to an actor' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'hot' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hoot that I've seen before include "Bird call; funny thing" , "Funny thing (informal);bird call" , "Cry of owl" , "noise made by 7 [WOOD-OWL]" , "Hollow cry" .)
