Singing and strip poker after strong drink knocked back (7)
I believe the answer is:
karaoke
'singing' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'strip poker after strong drink knocked back' is the wordplay.
'strip' means to look at the middle letters (I've seen 'stripping' mean this).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'strong drink' becomes 'arak' (arak is a kind of strong drink).
'knocked back' says the letters should be written backwards.
The middle letters of 'poker' are 'oke'.
'arak' backwards is 'kara'.
'oke' after 'kara' is 'KARAOKE'.
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for karaoke that I've seen before include "Entertainment in pubs where customers sing to backing track" , "Musical entertainment, offered in bars and clubs" , "Singing to background recording" , "Often cringeworthy and drunken singing to a video tape" , "Pub entertainment in which customers sing to a backing track" .)
