Did lassie get the sack in restaurant for food that was left on the table? (5,3)
I believe the answer is:
doggy bag
'sack in restaurant for food that was left on the table?' is the definition.
'doggy bag' can be an answer for 'sack' (doggy bag is a kind of sack). I am not sure about the rest of the definition.
'did lassie get' is the wordplay.
'did lassie' becomes 'doggy' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'get' becomes 'bag' (bag can mean to secure or obtain).
'doggy'+'bag'='DOGGY-BAG'
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for doggy bag that I've seen before include "Party leftover container" , "Container for what you can't eat when dining out" , "In which to take restaurant leftovers home" , "Container for uneaten restaurant food" , "Leftover food carrier" .)
