Nudge under the table in party (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shindig

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'party' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'nudge under the table in' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'in' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for shindig that I've seen before include "wild party" , "Rumpus" , "Big lively party (colloq.)" , "Hooley" , "commotion" .)
