Eagerly consumes innuendos laden with gossip, ultimately (6)
I believe the answer is:
slurps
'eagerly consumes innuendos' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'laden with gossip ultimately' is the wordplay.
'laden' becomes 'slurs' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'with' indicates putting letters inside.
'ultimately' suggests the final letters.
The final letter of 'gossip' is 'p'.
'slurs' enclosing 'p' is 'SLURPS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for slurps that I've seen is " Drinks noisily".)
