Maybe getting a char, lashing out when in the money! (9)
I believe the answer is:
perchance
'maybe' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'getting a char lashing out when in the money' is the wordplay.
'getting' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'char lashing out' becomes 'rch' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'when in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'the money' becomes 'pence' (I've seen this before).
'a' put after 'rch' is 'rcha'.
'rcha' placed inside 'pence' is 'PERCHANCE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for perchance that I've seen before include "'To sleep: -------- to dream:' Hamlet" , "As it may happen" , "possibly" , "Maybe (to dream? - Hamlet)" .)
