Handles celebrities? (5)
I believe the answer is:
names
This clue could be a double definition.
'handles' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with communicating as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'celebrities?' is the second definition.
(as in a phrase like 'a big name in fashion')
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for names that I've seen before include "People and things are known by them" , "Some people drop these to sound important" , "identification" , "Appellations or identifiers" , "Titles" .)
