Task gig's crew to shift what officer might carry (7,5)
I believe the answer is:
swagger stick
'officer might carry' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'task gig's crew to shift' is the wordplay.
'to shift' indicates an anagram.
'task'+'gigs'+'crew'='taskgigscrew'
'taskgigscrew' with letters rearranged gives 'SWAGGER STICK'.
'what' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for swagger stick that I've seen before include "Cane held by army officers" , "Short cane carried by army officers" , "Army officer's short leather-covered cane" .)
