Guzzle
Answer:
GULPDOWN
Hint:
Think of how a thirsty person might quickly consume a drink in two swift motions, combining the sounds they make.
Explanation:
"Guzzle" hints at drinking quickly, and "gulping down" is a playful way to describe that action. The answer combines "gulp" (a single swallow) with "down" (indicating direction) to form a two-word phrase squished into one. It’s a straightforward charade-style clue where the words blend naturally to match the meaning.
