I can do inane dances in a wet patch of earth (6,5)
I believe the answer is:
indian ocean
'wet patch of earth' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.
'i can do inane dances' is the wordplay.
'dances' indicates anagramming the letters.
'can'+'do'+'inane'='candoinane'
'candoinane' is an anagram of 'ndianocean'.
'i'+'ndianocean'='INDIAN OCEAN'
'in a' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for indian ocean that I've seen before include "Lots of water" , "Region between Africa and Australia" , "Waters between Africa and Australia" , "large expanse of sea" , "Aggressively masculine" .)
