Crossword Genius

Pulling motion creating pain in the neck (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

drag

I believe this is a double definition.

'pulling motion' is the first definition.

'pain in the neck' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'creating' is the link.

(Other definitions for drag that I've seen before include "Pull along with effort" , "Trail along the ground" , "such a nuisance" , "Tow" , "Pull along the ground - transvestite'-'s get-up" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
