Slung out of Mulligans - what was the man of letters expecting? (4)
I believe the answer is:
'slung out of mulligans what was the' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'man of letters expecting?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'man' could be 'm' and 'm' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ail' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mail that I've seen before include "Paper" , "Armour; posted items" , "Post or body armour" , "Letters and parcels" , "Post in America" .)
