Very quickly surrender duke (4,4,4)
I believe the answer is:
hand over fist
'very quickly' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'surrender duke' is the wordplay.
'surrender' becomes 'handover' (I've seen this before).
'duke' becomes 'fist' (put up your dukes).
'handover'+'fist'='HAND OVER FIST'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hand over fist that I've seen before include "(Gain) rapidly" , "With steady and rapid gain" , "Rapid rate of money-making" , "With rapid progress" , "(Make, lose or spend money) very rapidly" .)
