Drenched drunk man with child - he is family (6,2,3,4)
I believe the answer is:
soaked to the skin
'family' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'drenched drunk man with child he is' is the wordplay.
'drenched' becomes 'soaked' (synonyms).
'drunk man' becomes 'kin' (I am not sure about the 'drunk' bit.).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'child' becomes 'tot' (term for a young child).
'he is' becomes 'he's'.
'tot'+'hes'='tothes'
'kin' after 'tothes' is 'totheskin'.
'soaked'+'totheskin'='SOAKED TO THE SKIN'
Can you help me to learn more?
