Tell me explosive is put around Communist leader (4,2,3)
I believe the answer is:
spit it out
'tell me' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'explosive is put around communist leader' is the wordplay.
'explosive' indicates anagramming the letters.
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'communist leader' becomes 'tito' (I have seen 'Yugoslav leader ' mean 'tito' so perhaps 'leader' could also mean 'tito'. I am not sure about the 'communist' bit.).
'is'+'put'='isput'
'isput' with letters rearranged gives 'spiut'.
'spiut' going around 'tito' is 'SPIT IT OUT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for spit it out that I've seen before include "Come on, say it quickly - or expectorate" , "Say what one has to say" , "Say it quickly - even expectorate" , "Tell me forthwith!"" , "Come on, say what you think - expectorate" .)
