Animate dandy, removing jacket while making jerky foot movements, being full of beans (5,3,7)
I believe the answer is:
alive and kicking
'full of beans' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'animate dandy removing jacket while making jerky foot movements being' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'animate' could be 'alive' (synonyms) and 'alive' is found in the answer.
'being' could be 'king' (king is a kind of being) and 'king' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for alive and kicking that I've seen before include "hardly subdued" , "Very active" , "Animated" , "full of vigour" , "Strong" .)
