After husband's in a better place, new squeeze? (4,2,2)
I believe the answer is:
cash in on
'squeeze?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'after husband's in a better place new' is the wordplay.
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'husband' becomes 'h' (abbreviation).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'a better place' becomes 'casino' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'new' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament).
'h' going into 'casino' is 'cashino'.
'cashino' put next to 'n' is 'CASH IN ON'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cash in on that I've seen before include "Turn to one's advantage - no cheques!" , "Make profit from, turn to one's advantage" , "Exploit" , "Make large profit or turn to advantage" .)
