Bloody large swig knocked back — one might get hammered! (8)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
rawlplug
'one might get hammered' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'bloody large swig knocked back' is the wordplay.
'bloody' becomes 'raw' (as in raw meat).
'large' becomes 'L' (eg in clothes sizes).
'swig' becomes 'gulp' (synonyms).
'knocked back' says the letters should be written backwards.
'gulp' back-to-front is 'plug'.
'raw'+'l'+'plug'='RAWLPLUG'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rawlplug that I've seen before include "Means of putting screw in wall" , "Fixer for screw in wall" , "Plastic sheath put in hole to hold a screw" , "Plastic sheath to hold a screw in a masonry hole" , "Means of fixing screw to wall" .)
