Scared for a few days? Need to talk? (4-5)
I believe the answer is:
weak-kneed
'scared' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'few days? need to talk?' is the wordplay.
'few days?' becomes 'weak' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to talk?' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue (I've seen 'talked of' mean this).
'need' sounds like 'kneed'.
'weak'+'kneed'='WEAK-KNEED'
'for a' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for weak-kneed that I've seen before include "Lacking moral courage in legs?" , "Feeble" .)
