I haven't cracked this one yet — but the brilliant team at Fifteensquared have:
FR (abbreviation for father, as a title for a clergyman) + O (over, in cricket scoring) + ST (abbreviation for street), all after (going on = added to) JACK (as a verb = raise using a lever mechanism, as in jacking up a car for repairs). For the somewhat cryptic definition, think of The Christmas Song : “Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose.”
