Dance steps OK for comic, after consuming a couple (8)
I believe the answer is:
footwork
'dance steps' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'ok for comic after consuming a couple' is the wordplay.
'comic' indicates an anagram.
'after consuming' indicates putting letters inside.
'a couple' becomes 'two' (a couple can mean two of something).
'ok'+'for'='okfor'
'okfor' anagrammed gives 'foork'.
'foork' placed around 'two' is 'FOOTWORK'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for footwork that I've seen is " Skilful manoeuvring".)
