General outranking everybody? (7)
I believe the answer is:
overall
'general' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'outranking everybody?' is the wordplay.
'outranking' becomes 'over' (I've seen this in another clue).
'everybody?' becomes 'all' (all people).
'over'+'all'='OVERALL'
(Other definitions for overall that I've seen before include "On the whole - protective garment" , "In total" , "All round" , "generally speaking" , "Inclusive" .)
