Yank getting booze to take back and he's very tight (7)
I believe the answer is:
niggard
'tight' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'yank getting booze to take back' is the wordplay.
'yank' becomes 'drag' (I've seen this before).
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'booze' becomes 'gin' (type of alcohol).
'to take back' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (I've seen 'taken back' mean this).
'drag'+'gin'='draggin'
'draggin' written backwards gives 'NIGGARD'.
'and he's very' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for niggard that I've seen before include "He's tight" , "Mean, stingy person" , "Super-saver" , "Scrooge" , "Mean type" .)
