Below the first place, moved to the middle with small shoves (6)
I believe the answer is:
elbows
'shoves' is the definition.
(elbowing is a kind of shoving)
'below the first place moved to the middle with small' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'below' is 'elbow' which is located in the answer.
'small' could be 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size) and 's' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for elbows that I've seen before include "Benders" , "Jostles" , "Human joints" , "They make a point of jostling" , "Arm-joints" .)
