Begins - telling jokes? (4,8)
I believe the answer is:
gets cracking
This could be a double definition.
'begins' is the first definition.
(getting cracking is a kind of begining)
'telling jokes?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their -s form, I can't see how one could define the other.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
