Self-important as Hercules on a bender? (4,3,6)
I believe the answer is:
high and mighty
'self-important' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'hercules on a bender?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'as' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for high and mighty that I've seen before include "Domineering" , "Self-important" , "Important, influential and arrogant" , "Arrogant - pompous" , "Acting as if one believes one is very important" .)
