Be just about OK drug-smuggling on Uzbekistan’s borders - amazing! (12)
I believe the answer is:
unbelievable
'amazing' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'be just about ok drug-smuggling on uzbekistan's borders' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'be' could be 'lie' (lying is a kind of being) and 'lie' is found in the answer.
'about' could be 'a' (abbreviation in Chambers) and 'a' is found within the answer.
'drug' could be 'e' (E is another name for ecstasy) and 'e' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for unbelievable that I've seen before include "Impossible to credit" , "Far-fetched" , "Incredible" .)
