Brutal pair of boozers in charge (8)
I believe the answer is:
barbaric
'brutal' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'pair of boozers in charge' is the wordplay.
'pair' says to double the letters.
'of boozers' becomes 'bar' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'in charge' becomes 'ic' (abbreviation for 'in charge').
'bar' duplicated is 'barbar'.
'barbar'+'ic'='BARBARIC'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for barbaric that I've seen before include "Uncivilized" , "Wild and savage" , "Rabbi car for rough and uncivilised" , "Brutal and uncivilised" , "Savage and cruel" .)
