Not turning down an invitation? (7,2)
I believe the answer is:
rolling up
'not' is the definition.
The definition and answer are not the same part of speech.
'turning down an invitation?' is the wordplay.
'turning' becomes 'rolling' (rolling is a kind of turning).
'down an invitation?' becomes 'up' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'rolling'+'up'='ROLLING UP'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
