Hit shot up to fine leg? A mistake (4,2,3,6)
I believe the answer is:
slip of the tongue
'a mistake' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'hit shot up to fine leg?' is the wordplay.
'hit' indicates an anagram.
'shot'+'up'+'to'+'fine'+'leg'='shotuptofineleg'
'shotuptofineleg' with letters rearranged gives 'SLIP OF THE TONGUE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for slip of the tongue that I've seen before include "mistake one hears" , "a small error" , "Error in words" , "vocal error" .)
