Gets off with a slight dislocation (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alights

'gets off' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'with a slight dislocation' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'dislocation' indicates an anagram.
'slight' is an anagram of 'lights'.
'a'+'lights' is 'ALIGHTS'.

(Other definitions for alights that I've seen before include "Climbs down, from a bus say" , "Lands" , "Touches down" , "Disembarks" , "Comes to land" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
