I'd be grateful for help with this one.

Go round impersonating French where they won't have the foggiest, like? (3-5)

P_A - _O_P_

I have an answer but can't parse it satisfactorily. Can anyone else?

[sedge47]

pea-soup
PEP (go) AS (impersonating) OU (French 'where')

[glasman]

Looks like 'pea soupy' but haven't parsed yet.

[boyo6]

Thanks, sedge47. That looks right but can you explain the final "S"?

[sedge47]

Sorry - misread the clue. it's pea-soupy - last Y is (the)Y.

[boyo6]

Ah! That is quite brilliant. Thank you so much, and to glasman too.
