Glide behind a boat’s wake? It’s oddly about right (5-3)
I believe the answer is:
water-ski
'glide behind a boat's' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'wake? it's oddly about right' is the wordplay.
'oddly' indicates anagramming the letters (letters in an odd order).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'wake'+'its'='wakeits'
'wakeits' with letters rearranged gives 'wateski'.
'wateski' enclosing 'r' is 'WATER-SKI'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for water-ski that I've seen before include "Glide over a lake or sea" , "To ride behind a speedboat" , "Engage in aquatic sport" , "Tweak sir (anag)" , "Be towed behind a speedboat" .)
