Urgent cry for help when everyone’s holding a pack of cards? (3,5,2,4)
I believe the answer is:
all hands on deck
'urgent cry for help' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'everyone's holding a pack of cards?' is the wordplay.
'everyone' becomes 'all' (all people).
'holding' becomes 'handson' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'a pack of cards?' becomes 'deck' ('deck' can be a synonym of 'pack of cards').
'all'+'handson'+'deck'='ALL HANDS ON DECK'
'when' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for all hands on deck that I've seen before include "Alert for everyone" , "Order, on board" .)
