Streaming in a quick dash to New York (5)
I believe the answer is:
runny
'streaming in a quick' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'dash to new york' is the wordplay.
'dash' becomes 'run' (I've seen this before).
'to new york' becomes 'ny'.
'run'+'ny'='RUNNY'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for runny that I've seen before include "More liquid than usual" , "Inclined to liquefy, watery" , "Fluid" , "Flowing with ease" , "Not viscous" .)
