Heard grandma lied about unloading gun and being neutral (3-7)
I believe the answer is:
non-aligned
'heard grandma lied' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech. However, past participle verbs and adjectives occasionally define each other.
'about unloading gun and being neutral' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 'on' (as in a book 'on' a certain topic).
'unloading gun' becomes 'aligned' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'being neutral' becomes 'N' (abbreviation in electronics).
'on'+'aligned'='onaligned'
'onaligned' after 'n' is 'NON-ALIGNED'.
