Fights with lawyer using monologues laced with street slang (6)
I believe the answer is:
scraps
'fights' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scraps that I've seen before include "Small pieces left over" , "43 [WASTE]" , "thrown away?" , "Remnants" , "Small fragments" .)
