Impudence at work involving a bit of horseplay, maybe? (6)
I believe the answer is:
gallop
'a bit of horseplay maybe?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'impudence at work' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'impudence' could be 'gall' (synonyms) and 'gall' is found in the answer.
'work' could be 'op' (short for opus) and 'op' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'involving' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gallop that I've seen before include "Fast gait of a horse" , "Fastest run of a horse" , "Fast speed of horse" , "Fast pace (for horse)" , "Run fast like horse" .)
