Displease - disease (complaint) about P and L

Question Author

Thanks.  Seemed to havea sare "s"!

displease

HH, I too felt there was an extra S,m generated by the superfluous Senior?

As far as the superfluous "S" is concerned, I felt the "senior" meant the two first letters of "party lackeys".

"starts" suggests the PL - I think senior IS superfluous.

I think "senior" is for the P & L, and "starts to generate anger" is "displease", i.e. to displease is to cause the angry feeling.

GVloved1, I'd like your suggestion better if the tenses matched up - 'starts to generate anger' would more likely lead to 'displeases'.  As the answer is 'displease', I feel the clue should have had 'start', if your idea was being followed?
