Cut Santa short? (4)
I believe the answer is:
nick
This might be a double definition.
'cut' is the first definition.
(I know that nick is a type of cut)
'santa short?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nick that I've seen before include "Mark" , "diabolical person's name" , "Nab; notch" , "porridge" , "Purloin (sl.)" .)
