Fix — accommodate the patient man (3-2,3)
I believe the answer is:
put-up job
But I can't explain it at all! Could you help me understand?
(Other definitions for put-up job that I've seen before include "Prearranged deception" , "sham!" , "'Pre-arrangement in order to deceive (3,2,3)'" , "Dishonest scheme" , "Something intended to deceive" .)
