Reject salesperson getting a little lazy during work (7)
I believe the answer is:
repulse
'reject' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'salesperson getting a little lazy during work' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'salesperson' could be 'rep' (I've seen this before) and 'rep' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for repulse that I've seen before include "Beat off -- rebuff" , "Ward off" , "Beat back" , "Battlecruiser" , "Repel" .)
