Tangled cable ties? We won't have it! (9)
I believe the answer is:
celibates
'we won't have it' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'tangled cable ties?' is the wordplay.
'tangled' indicates an anagram.
'cable'+'ties'='cableties'
'cableties' is an anagram of 'CELIBATES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for celibates that I've seen is " unmarried men?".)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
