Survives flipping flashy jewellery for brother? (7)
I believe the answer is:
sibling
'brother?' is the definition.
(I know that brother can be written as sibling)
'survives flipping flashy jewellery' is the wordplay.
'survives' becomes 'is' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'flipping' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'flashy jewellery' becomes 'bling' (I've seen this before).
'is' backwards is 'si'.
'si'+'bling'='SIBLING'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sibling that I've seen before include "Maybe brother" , "Bro, perhaps" , "Close relative" , "Brother or sister by the same parents" , "Bro or sis" .)
