Second rate shower might collectively display intelligence (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
brain power
'intelligence' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'second rate shower might' is the wordplay.
'second rate' becomes 'b'.
'shower' becomes 'rain' (rainfall).
'might' becomes 'power' (being mighty).
'b'+'rain'+'power'='BRAIN-POWER'
'collectively display' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
