Bring forward a party - it make introductions shorter (7,3)
I believe the answer is:
further ado
'it make introductions shorter' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'bring forward a party' is the wordplay.
'bring forward' becomes 'further' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'party' becomes 'do' (do can informally mean a party).
'further'+'a'+'do'='FURTHER ADO'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
