Managers getting over silver grabbers? (7-2)
I believe the answer is:
runners-up
'managers' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'getting over silver grabbers?' is the wordplay.
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'over' becomes 'up' (e.g. if your time is up it is over).
'silver grabbers?' becomes 'runners' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'up' put after 'runners' is 'RUNNERS-UP'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for runners-up that I've seen before include "Those in second place" , "Near winners" , "Second-placed competitors" , "Those not quite winning" , "Those who come second" .)
