Discharges new boy's ring-in at union? (7)
I believe the answer is:
unloads
'discharges' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with contact as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'new boy's ring-in at union?' is the wordplay.
'new' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament).
'boy's ring-in' becomes 'loads' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'at' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'union?' becomes 'U' (common abbreviation as in Trades Union Congress).
'n'+'loads'='nloads'
'nloads' put after 'u' is 'UNLOADS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
