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' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'booze' becomes 'gin' (type of alcohol).
'to take back' says the letters should be written in reverse (I've seen 'taking back' mean this).
'drag'+'gin'='draggin'
'draggin' backwards is 'NIGGARD'.
'and he's very' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. 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" .)
