Terrible spaghetti rejected by Attorney General - it's the absolute worst (3,4)
I believe the answer is:
the pits
'worst' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'terrible spaghetti rejected by attorney general it's the absolute' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'it's' could be 'ts' (abbreviation. e.g. in 'tis) and 'ts' is present in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for the pits that I've seen before include "Absolutely worst person possible" , "place to service a car?" , "terrible situation" , "pants" , "Racetrack area; worst conditions" .)
