Dispute decision to cross Swords to get article by Chuck (5,3,4)
I believe the answer is:
argue the toss
'dispute decision' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'cross swords to get article by chuck' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'cross' could be 't' (shape) and 't' is found within the answer.
'article' could be 'a' (indefinite article) and 'a' is present in the answer.
'chuck' could be 'toss' ('toss' can be a synonym of 'chuck') and 'toss' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for argue the toss that I've seen before include "Dispute a decision" , "dispute what's been decided" .)
