Understand the leg-pull and become
agitated? (3,3,4,2)
Solution
– get the wind up
If
you "understand" something, you can be said to "get"
it. "The leg pull" can also be
termed as a "wind up". Both
colloquial phrases to mean playing a practical joke on someone.
If
you put those 2 things together you get "get the wind up" which is
another phrase which means become nervous or agitated.
I
find it interesting that 2 versions of "wind" are used here which not
only mean completely different things but are pronounced quite differently too.
