The dog doesn't get many when everybody is supposed to be indoors (6)
I believe the answer is:
curfew
'many when everybody is supposed to be indoors' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'the dog doesn't' is the wordplay.
'the dog' becomes 'cur' (both can mean a despicable person).
'doesn't' becomes 'few' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'cur'+'few'='CURFEW'
'get' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for curfew that I've seen before include "Order restricting movements after a set time" , "Early closing time imposed by military" , "Restriction on nocturnal movement" , "Order restricting time not at home" , "Regulation restricting movement at night" .)
