Impatient with gigs, reworked old puppet show (8,5)
I believe the answer is:
spitting image
'old puppet show' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'impatient with gigs reworked' is the wordplay.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'reworked' indicates an anagram.
'impatient' after 'gigs' is 'gigsimpatient'.
'gigsimpatient' with letters rearranged gives 'SPITTING IMAGE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for spitting image that I've seen before include "Exact likeness" , "exact copy" , "Perfect likeness" , "show on TV" , "Exact double" .)
