Clue
Old-fashioned "Yeah, right!" (5)
Answer
The answer to Old-fashioned "Yeah, right!" is Psshaw (5 letters).
Why does Psshaw fit this clue?
This clue uses a fill-in-the-blank style definition with a tone qualifier, pointing to PSHAW, an old-fashioned exclamation of disbelief or dismissal. PSHAW is an interjection used to express scorn, contempt, or skepticism, much the way a modern speaker might say "Yeah, right!" or "Oh, please!" The qualifier "old-fashioned" signals that the word is dated and rarely heard today, which fits PSHAW perfectly, as it was common in 19th-century speech and writing but has since faded from everyday use. The spelling "Psshaw" in the answer display reflects a drawn-out, exaggerated pronunciation that reinforces the dismissive tone.
