<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">accept eagerly</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for lap up that I've seen before include "Scoop" , "Accept eagerly" , "Take in avidly" , "Take in willingly (with the tongue?)" , "Greatly enjoy winning" .)
