Take a hike locally, for example, around square and get twisted
I believe the answer is:
get knotted
'take a hike locally' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'example around square and get twisted' is the wordplay.
'example' becomes 'eg'.
'around' says the letters should be written backwards.
'square' becomes 't' (a T-Square is a technical drawing instrument).
'and get' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'twisted' becomes 'knotted' (I've seen this before**).
'eg' reversed gives 'ge'.
'ge'+'t'+'knotted'='GET KNOTTED'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for get knotted that I've seen before include "Become entangled" , "What your muscles may do" , "express disapproval thus" , "on your bike" .)
