Way of saying hip-hop backwards with Charlie in alley (8)
I believe the answer is:
parlance
'way of saying' is the definition.
'parlance' can be an answer for 'way' (I have seen 'Way of speaking' mean 'parlance' so perhaps 'way' could also mean 'parlance'). I am unsure of the 'of saying' bit.
'hip-hop backwards with charlie in alley' is the wordplay.
'hip-hop' becomes 'rap' (I've seen this in another clue).
'backwards' is a reversal indicator.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'charlie in alley' becomes 'lance' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'rap' backwards is 'par'.
'par'+'lance'='PARLANCE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for parlance that I've seen before include "Manner of speaking peculiar to a specific group" , "Way of using words" , "Earn clap for vocabulary of particular subject" , "Idiom" , "talk!" .)
