Dissolute men getting into scrapes? (5)
I believe the answer is:
rakes
This might be a double definition.
'dissolute men' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'scrapes?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
'getting into' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to one of the definitions.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rakes that I've seen before include "men to be debauched" , "men who are dissipated" , "Profligates and garden implements" , "Collects leaves - leaf collectors" , "scrapes" .)
