Flips out, inhaling fourth of puffs from this? (6)
I believe the answer is:
spliff
'this?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'flips out inhaling fourth of puffs' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'inhaling' is an insertion indicator.
'fourth of puffs' becomes 'f' (4th letter of 'puffs').
'flips' with letters rearranged gives 'splif'.
'splif' going around 'f' is 'SPLIFF'.
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for spliff that I've seen before include "drug dose" , "Cannabis joint" , "Marijuana fag" , "Joint (for smoking)" , "Dodgy smoke" .)
