Crossword Genius

Stagger away, say, without apparent effort (4,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reel off

This clue is a double definition.

'stagger away' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'say without apparent effort' is the second definition.
(to reel off is to say a list of things quickly)

(Other definitions for reel off that I've seen before include "Say (something) rapidly and effortlessly" , "run through quickly?" , "say, without apparent effort" , "Tell someone quickly" , "Speak very rapidly" .)
