Lying low, discussing corporal punishment? (5,4,6)
I believe the answer is:
going into hiding
'lying low' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adjective which matches the answer.
'discussing corporal punishment?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'punishment?' could be 'hiding' (I have seen 'physical punishment' mean 'hiding' so perhaps 'punishment' could also mean 'hiding') and 'hiding' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'goinginto' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
