Like top execs, canned following dishonesty (4-6)
I believe the answer is:
high-flying
'like top execs canned following dishonesty' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'canned following dishonesty' is the wordplay.
'canned' becomes 'high' (both can informally mean drunk).
'following' becomes 'f.' (used when citing page numbers etc).
'dishonesty' becomes 'lying' (lying is being dishonest).
'high'+'f'+'lying'='HIGH-FLYING'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
