Split's college dances (5)
I believe the answer is:
chops
'split's college dances' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'college dances' is the wordplay.
'college' becomes 'c'.
'dances' becomes 'hops' (hop is a kind of dance).
'c'+'hops'='CHOPS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chops that I've seen before include "trap" , "Axes" , "Cuts of meat including part of a rib" , "Hacks" , "Cuts; slices of meat" .)
