Jokes about boy and right things to wear for best (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
glad rags
'to wear for best' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'jokes about boy and right' is the wordplay.
'jokes' becomes 'gags' (gag can mean a joke).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'boy' becomes 'lad' (informal term for boy).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'lad'+'r'='ladr'
'gags' enclosing 'ladr' is 'GLAD RAGS'.
'things' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for glad rags that I've seen before include "Dressy clothes - happy threads" , "best suit" , "Fancy clothes for laggards" , "Smart clothes (for a special occasion)" , "Best clothes worn for special occasions" .)
