When tipsy, Henry gets noisy and is avoided (4-3)
I believe the answer is:
half-cut
'when tipsy' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'henry gets noisy and is avoided' is the wordplay.
'henry' becomes 'hal' (short for Henry).
'gets' says to put letters next to each other.
'noisy' becomes 'f'.
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'is avoided' becomes 'cut' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'hal'+'f'+'cut'='HALF-CUT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for half-cut that I've seen is " Drunk (colloq.)".)
