Brag about connections to get deposit on call (8)
I believe the answer is:
namedrop
'brag about connections to' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'deposit on call' is the wordplay.
'deposit' becomes 'drop' (drop is a kind of deposit).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'call' becomes 'name' (as in calling or naming someone something).
'drop' put after 'name' is 'NAMEDROP'.
'get' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for namedrop that I've seen before include "Try to impress by talking about 'important' connections" , "attempt to impress" .)
