Cleric and golfer in wild parties? (6)
I believe the answer is:
revels
'wild parties?' is the definition.
'revels' can be an answer for 'parties?' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'wild' bit.
'cleric and golfer' is the wordplay.
'cleric' becomes 'Rev' (abbreviation for Reverend).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'golfer' becomes 'els' (Ernie Els - former number one professional golfer).
'rev'+'els'='REVELS'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for revels that I've seen before include "Celebrations with levers" , "Noisy celebrations" , "Parties" , "Our . . . . . . now are ended (The Tempest)" , "Merrymaking" .)
