Pass on the profits from one’s takeaway business? (4,2,4,5)
I believe the answer is:
cash in ones chips
'pass on' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'profits from one's takeaway business?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'from' could be 'in' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'in' is present in the answer.
'one's' could be 'as' (a thing is one thing) and 'as' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cash in ones chips that I've seen before include "get money for potatoes?" , "What fumbling server in fish bar might give" , "Fail finally" , "Pass on" , "buy it?" .)
