Drug plane smuggling coke? Do this to get out of it! (5)
I believe the answer is:
eject
'do this to get out of it' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun but the answer is not.
'drug plane smuggling coke?' is the wordplay.
'drug' becomes 'e' (E is another name for ecstasy).
'plane' becomes 'jet' (jet plane).
'smuggling' means one lot of letters goes inside another (some letters smuggled inside).
'coke?' becomes 'C' ('C' can be a synonym of 'coke').
'jet' placed around 'c' is 'ject'.
'e'+'ject'='EJECT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eject that I've seen before include "Send out forcibly" , "Turf out" , "Release a cassette from a video recorder, for instance" , "Drive out" , "Deport" .)
