Lacerations found around most of vulgar waterproofs (8)
I believe the answer is:
galoshes
'waterproofs' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'lacerations found around most of vulgar' is the wordplay.
'lacerations' becomes 'gashes' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'found around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'most of' means to remove the last letter.
'vulgar' becomes 'low'.
'low' with its last letter taken off is 'lo'.
'gashes' placed around 'lo' is 'GALOSHES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for galoshes that I've seen before include "Waterproof overshoes" , "Overshoes usually made of rubber" , "footwear" , "Go hassle to get overshoes" .)
