Being broke, spoke peevishly (7)
I believe the answer is:
snapped
This might be a double definition.
'being broke' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'spoke peevishly' is the second definition.
'snapped' can be an answer for 'spoke' (snapping is a kind of speaking). I'm not sure about the 'peevishly' bit.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for snapped that I've seen before include "Bit" , "Took photograph" , "Broke; photographed" , "Broke; spoke irritably" , "What paparazzi did" .)
