They do nothing with the loungers (6)
I believe the answer is:
idlers
'they' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'do nothing with the loungers' is the wordplay.
'do nothing' becomes 'idle' (I've seen this before).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the loungers' becomes 'rs' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'idle'+'rs'='IDLERS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for idlers that I've seen before include "Lazy ones" , "Lazy people, layabouts" , "They hang about doing nothing" , "They're not inclined to work" , "Loiterers, layabouts" .)
