Stumble going for drink in ship approaching Point - the one that is alluringly taking off
I believe the answer is:
striptease
'stumble going for drink in ship approaching point the one that is alluringly taking off' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'stumble going for drink in ship approaching point' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'stumble' could be 'trip' ('trip' can be a synonym of 'stumble') and 'trip' is present in the answer.
'drink' could be 'tea' (tea is a kind of drink) and 'tea' is found in the answer.
'ship' could be 'ss' and 'ss' is present in the remaining letters.
'point' could be 'e' (E is an example) and 'e' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for striptease that I've seen before include "performance taking off" , "in which all will be revealed" , "Form of entertainment" , "Erotic performance" , "that calls for gradual exposure?" .)
