This spinner could maybe get dad out! (3,3)
I believe the answer is:
peg top
'this spinner' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'maybe get dad out' is the wordplay.
'maybe' indicates an anagram.
'dad' becomes 'pop' ('pop' can be a synonym of 'dad').
'out' indicates putting letters inside.
'get' with letters rearranged gives 'egt'.
'egt' going inside 'pop' is 'PEG-TOP'.
'could' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
