Excited to follow series of matches good man approved (6-7)
I believe the answer is:
rubber-stamped
'approved' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'excited to follow series of matches good man' is the wordplay.
'excited' becomes 'amped' (I've seen this in another clue).
'to follow' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (some letters go after or follow others).
'series of matches' becomes 'rubber' (from the card game bridge).
'good man' becomes 'st' (abbreviation for saint).
'rubber'+'st'='rubberst'
'amped' put after 'rubberst' is 'RUBBER-STAMPED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rubber-stamped that I've seen before include "Given automatic approval" , "Officially approved" , "Authorised automatically" , "Approved automatically" .)
