Crumbs are slung out (8)
I believe the answer is:
granules
'crumbs' is the definition.
'are slung out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'are'+'slung'='areslung'
'areslung' with letters rearranged gives 'GRANULES'.
(Another definition for granules that I've seen is " Small particles, of sugar perhaps".)
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
