Possibly tiger mother doing more tidying? (3-5)
I believe the answer is:
man-eater
'doing more tidying?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'possibly tiger mother' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'mother' could be 'ma' (Ma is another word for mother or mum) and 'ma' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'neater' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for man-eater that I've seen before include "Life-threatening wild animal" , "Highly-sexed, domineering woman" , "Cannibal" , "Animal known to consume humans" , "Voracious woman!" .)
