Rusty - like a sacked solicitor? (3,2,8)
I believe the answer is:
out of practice
'rusty' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'a sacked solicitor?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'a' is found in the answer.
'sacked' could be 'out' and 'out' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'like' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for out of practice that I've seen before include "being rusty?" , "Like a doctor dismissed" .)
