Stop messing about and switch to TV quiz? (3,2,3,5)
I believe the answer is:
cut to the chase
'stop messing about' is the definition.
'switch to tv quiz?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'switch' could be 'cut' (cutting is a kind of switching) and 'cut' is located in the answer.
'to' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cut to the chase that I've seen before include "'Stop beating about the bush!'" , "Get to the point" , "Start discussing important matters" .)
