European cuts turkey, consumed when extra family might come? (3,4)
I believe the answer is:
due date
'extra family might come?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'european cuts turkey consumed' is the wordplay.
'european' becomes 'E' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'cuts' means one lot of letters goes inside another (some letters cut their way into other letters).
'turkey' becomes 'dud' (synonyms).
'consumed' becomes 'ate' (to eat is to consume food).
'e' put inside 'dud' is 'dued'.
'dued'+'ate'='DUE DATE'
'when' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for due date that I've seen is " Term".)
