Drunk quickly given the cold shoulder? (7,4)
I believe the answer is:
knocked back
This clue could be a double definition.
'drunk quickly' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'given the cold shoulder?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I cannot see how they can define each other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for knocked back that I've seen before include "Rejected < ? Shocked" , "Had a drink" .)
