German politicians are smooth (4)
I believe the answer is:
glib
'are smooth' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'german politicians' is the wordplay.
'german' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'politicians' becomes 'lib' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'g'+'lib'='GLIB'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for glib that I've seen before include "Casually fluent" , "Superficially facile with words" , "Insincere, shallow" , "Fluent but evasive" , "Smooth-tongued" .)
