Using saws right to crack pistachio nuts (10)
I believe the answer is:
aphoristic
'using saws right to crack pistachio nuts' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'right to crack pistachio nuts' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'to crack' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inserted letters crack into others).
'nuts' indicates anagramming the letters (nuts can mean crazy).
'pistachio' with letters rearranged gives 'aphoistic'.
'r' put into 'aphoistic' is 'APHORISTIC'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for aphoristic that I've seen is " Like a saw".)
