Tackle drinks in a pair of pyjamas when study's delayed? (3,4)
I believe the answer is:
gap year
'pyjamas when study's delayed?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'tackle drinks in a pair' is the wordplay.
'tackle' becomes 'gear' (I've seen this in another clue).
'drinks in' is an insertion indicator (inserted letters are drank in).
'pair' becomes 'py' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'a'+'py'='apy'
'gear' placed around 'apy' is 'GAP YEAR'.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gap year that I've seen before include "Chance to gain experience" , "Time out before study" , "Time taken between school and work" , "student's time off" , "Student's break before university" .)
