Approving remark, ie missing one bearing greater resemblance to the other? (5,4,4,2)
I believe the answer is:
thats more like it
'approving remark ie missing' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'one bearing greater resemblance to the other?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is found in the answer.
'bearing' could be 's' and 's' is found within the answer.
'greater' could be 'more' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'more' is present in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for thats more like it that I've seen before include "It's much better!" , "said to encourage you" , "Recognition of improved correspondence" .)
