Youngster taking short vacation in extra small location (5-4)
I believe the answer is:
cubby-hole
'small location' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'youngster taking short vacation in extra' is the wordplay.
'youngster' becomes 'cub' (young bear).
'taking' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'short vacation' becomes 'hol' (holiday. I am not sure about the 'short' bit.).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'extra' becomes 'bye' (cricket term).
'hol' placed within 'bye' is 'byhole'.
'cub'+'byhole'='CUBBY-HOLE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for cubby-hole that I've seen is " Small compartment".)
