Sorting out crash blame? Cue an ——— (9,6)
I believe the answer is:
ambulance chaser
'sorting' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
'out crash blame? cue an' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator.
'crash'+'blame'+'cue'+'an'='crashblamecuean'
'crashblamecuean' is an anagram of 'AMBULANCE CHASER'.
(Another definition for ambulance chaser that I've seen is " Dodgy lawyer".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
