Mistake with awkward bust, female finally squeezing into these? (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
boob tubes
'squeezing into these?' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.
'mistake with awkward bust female finally' is the wordplay.
'mistake' becomes 'boob' (I've seen this before).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'awkward' is an anagram indicator.
'finally' says to take the final letters.
The last letter of 'female' is 'e'.
'bust'+'e'='buste'
'buste' with letters rearranged gives 'tubes'.
'boob'+'tubes'='BOOB TUBES'
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
