Annoyed informer finally getting to retire (3,3,2,5)
I believe the answer is:
put out to grass
'retire' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'annoyed informer finally getting to' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'annoyed' could be 'putout' (I've seen this before) and 'putout' is found within the answer.
'informer' could be 'grass' (I've seen this before) and 'grass' is found in the answer.
'to' is within the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for put out to grass that I've seen before include "retire" , "Treated as past it" , "offer nark sexual favours" , "Pensioned off" .)
