Guy
Answer:
FELLA
Hint:
Think of a casual term for a man, often used in friendly conversation or old-fashioned slang. It rhymes with a popular yellow fruit.
Explanation:
"Guy" is a casual term for a man, and "fella" is just another informal way to say the same thing—both are slang with the same meaning. The clue plays on everyday speech, where "fella" fits as a natural, slightly old-fashioned synonym. Think of phrases like "that fella over there" or classic Western movies where characters might say "Howdy, fella." It’s straightforward word substitution without any hidden tricks.
