Chucks in five skips (6)
I believe the answer is:
vomits
'chucks' is the definition.
(I know this)
'five skips' is the wordplay.
'five' becomes 'V' (Roman numeral).
'skips' becomes 'omits' (omit can mean to skip or ignore).
'v'+'omits'='VOMITS'
'in' acts as a link.
(Another definition for vomits that I've seen is " Ejects matter from mouth, being sick".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
