I need a parse of drag, please. Hope it's not so obvious as to embarrass me.

if I may- not in Chambers. oddly, but Collins has drag = "mainly US slang: a street or road ". We would call the main street in a city "the main drag".

sorry its under "main" in Chambers: "main drag (informal, chiefly US) the main street of a town"

"It's". God forbid I wind up in Pedants United...

Gold, by a whisker, goes to bigbadmarty2 @28 starting with a neat and misleading juxtaposition:

Well done, bigbadmarty2. Surprisingly enough your prize was never going to be AC/DC, which you can have from geeker@4 anyway. I hope you like beautifully sung church music.
