Slight thrill giving work for the dentist? (1,4,2,3,5)
I believe the answer is:
a kick in the teeth
'slight thrill' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'work for the dentist?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'work' could be 'kickin' (I've seen this before) and 'kickin' is found in the answer.
an anagram of 'the' is 'het' which is within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'giving' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for a kick in the teeth that I've seen before include "may knock the smile off one's face!" , "Such a hurtful rebuff" .)
