Spring stock depleted? Then you shouldn't go there (3,2,6)
I believe the answer is:
out of bounds
'there' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adverbs.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'spring stock depleted? then you shouldn't' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'spring' could be 'bound' (both can mean to jump) and 'bound' is found within the answer.
'you' could be 'u' (homophones) and 'u' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'go' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for out of bounds that I've seen before include "lying beyond field of play?" , "taboo" , "Skipper so exhausted" , "like an exhausted kangaroo?" , "Off limits" .)
