Like having McKenney inside in conflict? (2,4)
I believe the answer is:
at odds
'in conflict?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'like having mckenney' is the wordplay.
'like' becomes 'as'.
'having' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'mckenney' becomes 'todd' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'as' placed around 'todd' is 'AT ODDS'.
'inside' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for at odds that I've seen before include "Disagreeing" , "In disagreement or conflict - like bookies?" , "In conflict with, oppposed to (2,4)" , "Quarrelling" , "On bad terms" .)
