Displayed antelope hearts on the counter (4)
I believe the answer is:
hung
'displayed' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with social activities as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'antelope hearts on the counter' is the wordplay.
'antelope' becomes 'gnu' (gnu is a kind of antelope).
'hearts' becomes 'h' (abbreviation used in card games e.g. bridge).
'on the counter' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (counter can mean in the opposite direction).
'gnu'+'h'='gnuh'
'gnuh' back-to-front is 'HUNG'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hung that I've seen before include "Dangled" , "(Of parliament) with no overall majority" , "(Of a jury) unable to agree on a verdict" , "(Of a painting) exhibited (in a gallery)" , "Suspended" .)
