Design shoe during walk with regular gaps, showing what's better hidden (5,3,3)
I believe the answer is:
warts and all
'regular gaps showing what's better hidden' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'design shoe during walk with' is the wordplay.
'design' becomes 'art' (design is an art).
'shoe' becomes 'sandal' (sandal is a kind of shoe).
'during' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'walk with' becomes 'wl' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'art'+'sandal'='artsandal'
'artsandal' put inside 'wl' is 'WARTS-AND-ALL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for warts and all that I've seen before include "Every part, both good and bad" , "Including characteristics that are not attractive" , "with every horror exposed" , "Cromwell so pictured" , "regardless of faults!" .)
