Ticket seller following confused impression gets to speak without thinking? (5,3)
I believe the answer is:
blurt out
'speak without thinking?' is the definition.
'blurt out' can be an answer for 'speak' (blurting out is a kind of speaking). I'm not certain of the 'without thinking?' bit.
'ticket seller following confused impression' is the wordplay.
'ticket seller' becomes 'tout' (as in a ticket tout).
'following' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'confused impression' becomes 'blur' (I've seen this before).
'tout' put after 'blur' is 'BLURT OUT'.
'gets to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for blurt out that I've seen before include "Utter impulsively" , "Speak indiscreetly" .)
