Artist fine after employee flipped and went on rampage (3,4)
I believe the answer is:
ran amok
'went on rampage' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'artist fine after employee flipped' is the wordplay.
'artist' becomes 'ra' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts).
'fine' becomes 'ok' ('OK' can be a synonym of 'fine').
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'employee' becomes 'man'.
'flipped' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'man' in reverse letter order is 'nam'.
'ok' put after 'nam' is 'namok'.
'ra'+'namok'='RAN AMOK'
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for ran amok that I've seen is " Went mad".)
