Wait to start a game of ping-pong? (5,2,5)
I believe the answer is:
serve at table
'wait to start a game of ping-pong?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'wait to start a game of ping-pong?' is the wordplay.
'wait' becomes 'serve' (to wait on someone is to serve them).
'to start' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a game of ping pong?' becomes 'attable' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'serve'+'attable'='SERVE AT TABLE'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Guardian.
