Lazily say doctor has broken law (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

drawl

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'lazily say' is the definition.
'drawl' can be an answer for 'say' (drawling is a kind of saying). I am not certain of the 'lazily' bit.

'doctor has broken law' is the wordplay.
'doctor' becomes 'Dr' (abbreviation).
'has' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'broken' indicates an anagram.
'law' with letters rearranged gives 'awl'.
'dr'+'awl'='DRAWL'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for drawl that I've seen before include "Speak lazily with long vowel sounds" , "Speak slowly with long vowels sounds" , "Speak slowly and affectedly" , "Way of speaking slowly" , "Speak in slow tone" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
