Dispose of language of France (6,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

polish off

'dispose of' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'language of france' is the wordplay.
'language' becomes 'polish' (Polish is an example).
'france' becomes 'f'.
'polish'+'of'+'f'='POLISH OFF'

(Other definitions for polish off that I've seen before include "Dispose of" , "Finish completely - kill deliberately" , "Consume (something) quickly" , "Use varnish remover to get this" , "Finish (something) quickly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
