Do wrong in lowdown way? (3,4,4,2,2)
I believe the answer is:
put ones foot in it
'do wrong in lowdown way?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'do wrong in lowdown way?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'do' could be 'ut' (synonyms) and 'ut' is found within the answer.
'in' is present in the answer.
'way?' could be 's' (Compass direction - South) and 's' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for put ones foot in it that I've seen before include "Bungle" , "Make a tactless blunder (3,4,4,2,2)" , "as one might with one's trainer" , "Commit a faux pas?" , "usual way to use a sock" .)
