Attractive folk who are destructive? (8)
I believe the answer is:
smashers
If this is the answer I cannot explain how the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for smashers that I've seen before include "that look lovely?" , "Informally, good-looking women - sound destructive" , "People having big hits" , "Breakers of things - or, informally, very good-looking women" .)
