Toss out pin first, for example, as one would expect (8,2,3)
I believe the answer is:
needless to say
'one would expect' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'toss out pin first for example' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'pin' becomes 'needle' (both can mean a sharp point).
'first' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'for example' becomes 'say' ('say' can be used to introduce an example).
'toss' is an anagram of 'ssto'.
'ssto' after 'needle' is 'needlessto'.
'needlessto'+'say'='NEEDLESS TO SAY'
'as' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for needless to say that I've seen is " Of course".)
