Leave small stuff (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scram

'leave' is the definition.
(to scram is to leave somewhere quickly)

'small stuff' is the wordplay.
'small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size).
'stuff' becomes 'cram' (synonyms).
's'+'cram'='SCRAM'

(Other definitions for scram that I've seen before include "beat hasty retreat" , "Clear off!" , "In slang, go away and beat it" , "Buzz off!" , "Vamoose" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Telegraph.
