Solution for 27 June cryptic crossword clue



Senseless joke precedes one (4)
Solution – gaga

A fun clue today.  If you are "gaga" it used to mean out of your senses, or senseless – this is before the word was associated with Lady Gaga.

A "gag" is a joke and another word for "one" is "a"

So if "gag" precedes, or is put before, "a" you end up with "gaga".
