Leftie gets reprimand, being where celebs parade (3,6)
I believe the answer is:
red carpet
'where celebs parade' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'leftie gets reprimand' is the wordplay.
'leftie' becomes 'red' (red can informally mean a political leftwinger).
'gets' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'reprimand' becomes 'carpet' (carpet can informally mean to reprimand or rebuke).
'red'+'carpet'='RED-CARPET'
'being' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for red carpet that I've seen before include "VIP treatment" , "It is rolled out for VIPs" , "sort of treatment for special visitors?" , "Welcoming ground cover" , "walked over by celebrities" .)
