Collect money left in a manner of speaking (5)
I believe the answer is:
drawl
'manner of speaking' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'collect money left' is the wordplay.
'collect money' becomes 'draw' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'draw'+'l'='DRAWL'
'in a' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for drawl that I've seen before include "Speak slowly and protractedly" , "Jimmy Stewart spoke with one" , "Affected speech" , "Speak slowly and affectedly" , "Slow speech with prolonged vowels" .)
