Putin welcomes most of them from Wellington for kick about? (3,3,4,2)
I believe the answer is:
put the boot in
'kick about?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'putin welcomes most of them from wellington' is the wordplay.
'welcomes' means one lot of letters goes inside another (in sense of 'invites in').
'most of' means to remove the last letter.
'from' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'wellington' becomes 'boot' (Wellington boots are a type of shoe).
'them' with its last letter removed is 'the'.
'the'+'boot'='theboot'
'putin' enclosing 'theboot' is 'PUT THE BOOT IN'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for put the boot in that I've seen is " Attack someone already down".)
