Kinky thing with bachelor getting close (4)
I believe the answer is:
bend
'kinky thing' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'bachelor getting close' is the wordplay.
'bachelor' becomes 'B' (abbreviation e.g. BA=Bachelor of Arts).
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'close' becomes 'end' (close can mean to end or finish).
'b'+'end'='BEND'
'with' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bend that I've seen before include "It may be sinister" , "Stoop; (heraldic) stripe" , "Crook" , "Crouch" , "Dish of raw vegetables" .)
