Information that the lorry is going to shed its load? (3-3)
I believe the answer is:
tip-off
'information' is the definition.
(tip-off is a kind of information)
'the lorry is going to shed its load?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found within the answer.
'going' could be 'off' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'off' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'that' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tip-off that I've seen before include "Warn helpfully" , "Confidential hint" , "Private warning" , "Alert" , "Give advance warning or inside information" .)
