Set adrift between America and Australia? (2,3)
I believe the answer is:
at sea
'set adrift between america and australia?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'set adrift between america and australia?' is the wordplay.
'adrift' indicates anagramming the letters.
'between' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'america' becomes 'a' (common abbreviation eg in USA).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'australia?' becomes 'A' (abbreviation for Australia).
'set' with letters rearranged gives 'tse'.
'a' put after 'a' is 'aa'.
'tse' going within 'aa' is 'AT SEA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for at sea that I've seen before include "of no fixed abode" , "Worse things can happen here" , "Thrown" , "Sailing on a ship?" , "sailing the Atlantic?" .)
