Paper boys? (5)
I believe the answer is:
pages
'paper boys?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'paper boys?' is the wordplay.
'paper' becomes 'page' (page is a kind of paper).
'boys?' becomes 's' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'page'+'s'='PAGES'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pages that I've seen before include "Young attendants" , "Boy attendants" , "Hotel employees" , "See 16" , "Sheets of a book" .)
