Gets to dump women's footballer making you cross? (9)
I believe the answer is:
inswinger
'cross?' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'gets to dump women's footballer making' is the wordplay.
'gets' becomes 'wins' (winning is a kind of getting).
'to dump' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'women's' becomes 'w's' (standard abbreviation).
'footballer making' becomes 'swinger' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'wins' with 'ws' removed is 'in'.
'in'+'swinger'='INSWINGER'
'you' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for inswinger that I've seen before include "ball from fast bowler" , "swerving delivery" , "moving ball" , "delivery curling through air" , "Swerving ball" .)
