Chat volubly after drop of Tanqueray gin? (4)
I believe the answer is:
trap
'gin?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)
'chat volubly after drop of tanqueray' is the wordplay.
'chat volubly' becomes 'rap' (I've seen this in other clues. I am not sure about the 'volubly' bit.**).
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'drop of' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'tanqueray' is 't'.
'rap' put after 't' is 'TRAP'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for trap that I've seen before include "It commonly has a role in speaking" , "Driver's obstacle" , "one would be ill advised to enter?" , "The Web" , "Hook" .)
