Times 1056

[BIll]

50d. Spoils son, wife or girl of sportsman (4). Can't parse SWAG as spoils other than the S and W for son and wife (and G for gilr, but the A?). Any help?

[glasman]

S + wag

[sandyRoe]

son...S + WAG...wife and girlfriend, of sportsmen. + spoils swag

[grasscarp]

Wives and girlfriends are wags

[glasman]

WAGs (or Wags) is an acronym, used particularly by the British tabloid press, to describe the wives and girlfriends of high-profile footballers

[sandyRoe]

Though if the high-profile footballer has both a wife and girlfriend he'll also try to get a super injunction to keep that fact out of the papers. :-)

Many thanks all. I'm too old to know that!
