Throw tea out and there's trouble (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
hot water
'there's trouble' is the definition.
I know that 'trouble' relates to this answer.
'throw tea out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'throw'+'tea'='throwtea'
'throwtea' anagrammed gives 'HOT WATER'.
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hot water that I've seen before include "A state of trouble" , "Possible boiler" , "Taps contents" , "Predicament to be avoided (informal)" , "Distressing plight to be in" .)
