Manage to get some drinks in evasive manoeuvre (9)
I believe the answer is:
runaround
'evasive manoeuvre' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'manage to get some drinks' is the wordplay.
'manage' becomes 'run' (both can mean to organise).
'to get' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'some' becomes 'a'.
'drinks' becomes 'round' (I've seen this before).
'run'+'a'+'round'='RUNAROUND'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for runaround that I've seen before include "small car" , "deception" .)
