Go bonkers with fiasco following White House volteface? (4-4)
I believe the answer is:
flip-flop
'white house volteface?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'go bonkers with fiasco' is the wordplay.
'go bonkers' becomes 'flip' (I've seen this in another clue).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'fiasco' becomes 'flop' (I've seen this in another clue).
'flip'+'flop'='FLIP-FLOP'
'following' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for flip-flop that I've seen before include "Sandal held on by a toe-thong" , "Rubber-soled sandal" , "Shoe held on by a toe-thong" , "Light shoe" , "Informal footwear" .)
