Fluently recount that dance is not working (4,3)
I believe the answer is:
reel off
'fluently recount that' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'dance is not working' is the wordplay.
'dance' becomes 'reel' (reel is a kind of dance).
'is not working' becomes 'off' (switched off).
'reel'+'off'='REEL OFF'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for reel off that I've seen before include "Utter (something) rapidly and fluently" , "Effortlessly recite" , "Speak very rapidly" , "run through quickly?" , "Recite (something) rapidly" .)
