Massage on vacation limited personal crisis (8)
I believe the answer is:
meltdown
'crisis' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'massage on vacation limited personal' is the wordplay.
'on vacation' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (after the inside letters have vacated the word).
'limited' becomes 'ltd'.
'personal' becomes 'own' (eg one's own possessions are personal possessions).
'massage' with its middle taken out is 'me'.
'me'+'ltd'+'own'='MELTDOWN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for meltdown that I've seen before include "Serious nuclear accident" , "Sudden disastrous failure (of nuclear reactor)" , "Disastrous collapse - nuclear accident" , "Nuclear reactor accident" , "Disastrous event like overheating of nuclear reactor as in Chernobyl" .)
