Cold drink and slice served up for cobblers (8)
I believe the answer is:
claptrap
'cobblers' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'cold drink and slice served up' is the wordplay.
'cold drink' becomes 'clap' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'slice' becomes 'part' (I've seen this in another clue).
'served up' says the letters should be written backwards (in a down clue, letters go up).
'part' backwards is 'trap'.
'clap'+'trap'='CLAPTRAP'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for claptrap that I've seen before include "moonshine" , "Contrived but foolish talk" , "Pretentious rot" , "Meaningless, insincere or pompous talk" , "Pretentious talk or nonsense" .)
