Traditional Cluedo weapon nicked straight from the kitchen? (6,3)
I believe the answer is:
piping hot
'traditional cluedo weapon nicked straight' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'from the kitchen?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'from' could be 'in' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'in' is found within the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for piping hot that I've seen before include "extremely warm" , "(Of food) likely to burn one's mouth" .)
