She gets a call and a good clip (8)
I believe the answer is:
shearing
'good clip' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'she gets a call and a' is the wordplay.
'gets' says to put letters next to each other.
'a call' becomes 'ring' (telephone call).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'ring' put after 'a' is 'aring'.
'she' next to 'aring' is 'SHEARING'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for shearing that I've seen before include "George - - (jazz pianist)" , "Breaking off due to strain" , "Removing wool from sheep" , "Removing sheep's wool" , "George, the blind pianist" .)
