My chum ate frantically, and got this? (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
tummy ache
'got this?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'my chum ate frantically' is the wordplay.
'frantically' indicates an anagram.
'my'+'chum'+'ate'='mychumate'
'mychumate' anagrammed gives 'TUMMY ACHE'.
'and' acts as a link.
(Another definition for tummy ache that I've seen is " Childish complaint".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
