Have the lady report on the whole thing (7)
I believe the answer is:
shebang
'whole thing' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'have the lady report on' is the wordplay.
'have the lady' becomes 'she' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'report' becomes 'bang' (report can mean a loud noise).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'she'+'bang'='SHEBANG'
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for shebang that I've seen before include "The entire system" , "business" , "Whole affair" , "Lot" , "The whole thing?" .)
