What could shock more or less, for example? (4-6,4)
I believe the answer is:
four-letter word
This clue is a double definition.
'what could shock' is the first definition.
(a four-letter swear word could shock people)
'more or less for example?' is the second definition.
('more' and 'less' have 4 letters each)
(Another definition for four-letter word that I've seen is " profanity".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
