Two pointers at the table given chicken beginning to slobber (7)
I believe the answer is:
yellows
'two pointers at the table' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'chicken beginning to slobber' is the wordplay.
'chicken' becomes 'yellow' (as in cowardly).
'beginning to' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letter of 'slobber' is 's'.
'yellow'+'s'='YELLOWS'
'given' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for yellows that I've seen before include "Primary colours" , "shows age" , "shades of autumn?" , "Plant disease" , "as broadsheet influenced by The Sun does?" .)
