Provocative person gets a feeling next to a table (14)
I believe the answer is:
sensationalist
'provocative person' is the definition.
'sensationalist' can be an answer for 'person' (sensationalist is a kind of person). I am not certain of the 'provocative' bit.
'a feeling next to a table' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'a' is present in the answer.
'table' could be 'list' and 'list' is found within the answer.
'to a' could be 'a' and 'a' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'gets' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for sensationalist that I've seen is " One who tries for maximum effect".)
