Clinton or Dicky showing who's boss (2,7)
I believe the answer is:
in control
'who's boss' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'clinton or dicky' is the wordplay.
'dicky' indicates anagramming the letters (dicky can mean ill or non-functioning).
'clinton'+'or'='clintonor'
'clintonor' is an anagram of 'IN CONTROL'.
'showing' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for in control that I've seen is " able to direct an activity".)
