Isle of Man Tourist Trophy area overrun by Chinese people (9)
I believe the answer is:
manhattan
'isle' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'man tourist trophy area overrun by chinese people' is the wordplay.
'tourist trophy' becomes 'tt' (this could be a standard abbreviation of which I'm unaware).
'area' becomes 'a' (maths abbreviation).
'overrun by' indicates putting letters inside (I've seen this in other clues).
'chinese people' becomes 'han' (Chinese dynasty).
'tt'+'a'='tta'
'tta' placed inside 'han' is 'hattan'.
'man'+'hattan'='MANHATTAN'
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for manhattan that I've seen before include "Vermouth and whiskey, with a dash of bitters" , "area of New York City" , "Cocktail consisting of whisky, vermouth and bitters" , "Vermouth and whisky cocktail - New York borough" , "Cocktail of whiskey and sweet vermouth" .)
