Diced kale idly taken in both hands for hot dish? (4-6)
I believe the answer is:
lady-killer
'hot dish?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'diced kale idly taken in both hands' is the wordplay.
'diced' indicates anagramming the letters.
'taken in' indicates putting letters inside.
'both hands' becomes 'LR' (abbreviations for left and right).
'kale'+'idly'='kaleidly'
'kaleidly' is an anagram of 'adykille'.
'adykille' inserted within 'lr' is 'LADY-KILLER'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lady-killer that I've seen before include "Irresistible philanderer" , "Man irresistibly attractive to women" , "Man who thinks he's good with the girls" .)
