Represented as foremost of lackeys -- who better? (6-6)
I believe the answer is:
bottle-washer
'represented as foremost of lackeys who better?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'represented as foremost of lackeys who better?' is the wordplay.
'represented' indicates anagramming the letters.
'foremost of' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'lackeys' is 'l'.
'as'+'l'+'who'+'better'='aslwhobetter'
'aslwhobetter' anagrammed gives 'BOTTLE-WASHER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bottle-washer that I've seen before include "Menial - factotum" , "Kitchen assistant" , "See 6" .)
