Pathetic person curtailed streak where moviegoers gather (5-2)
I believe the answer is:
drive-in
'moviegoers gather' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'pathetic person curtailed streak' is the wordplay.
'pathetic person' becomes 'drip' (I've seen this before).
'curtailed' means to remove the last letter.
'streak' becomes 'vein' (vein can mean a streak or strip).
'drip' with its final letter taken away is 'dri'.
'dri'+'vein'='DRIVE-IN'
'where' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for drive-in that I've seen before include "Intended to be visited by car" , "Diviner (anag.)" , "Place where patrons may stay in their cars" , "Facility for use without leaving one's car" , "Car-friendly refreshment stop" .)
