Half dance after turning up disc by Hot Chip? (5)
I believe the answer is:
nacho
'chip?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'half dance after turning up disc by hot' is the wordplay.
'half dance' becomes 'can' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'after turning up' says the letters should be written backwards.
'disc' becomes 'O' (disc-shaped letter).
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'hot' becomes 'h' (abbreviation eg on taps).
'can' backwards is 'nac'.
'o' put after 'h' is 'ho'.
'nac'+'ho'='NACHO'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nacho that I've seen before include "Mexican bite" , "part of a snack?" , "Mexican snack item" , "Tortilla with cheese, etc" , "chip production line unit" .)
