Shirker getting even more lax? (7)
I believe the answer is:
slacker
'shirker' is the definition.
(I know that shirker can be written as slacker)
'getting even more lax?' is the wordplay.
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'even more' becomes 'er' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'lax?' becomes 'slack' ('slack' can be a synonym of 'lax').
'er' put after 'slack' is 'SLACKER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for slacker that I've seen before include "Person avoiding work" , "Someone who avoids the hard work" , "less tense" , "Not as tight" , "One shirking work" .)
