Gullible type not hard to encounter, reportedly (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
easy meat
'gullible type' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'not hard to encounter reportedly' is the wordplay.
'not hard' becomes 'easy' ('easy' is the opposite to 'hard').
'to encounter' becomes 'meet' ('meet' can be a synonym of 'encounter').
'reportedly' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'meet' is a homophone of 'meat'.
'easy'+'meat'='EASY MEAT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for easy meat that I've seen before include "Sitting duck" , "Sitting target" , "targeted victim?" , "a mark" , "No challenge" .)
