Is acclaimed and departs slamming the door (4,4,1,4)
I believe the answer is:
goes with a bang
'slamming the door' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'is acclaimed and departs' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'and' could be 'with' and 'with' is found in the answer.
'departs' could be 'goes' ('go' can be a synonym of 'depart') and 'goes' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
