Dram of type drunkard says? (5)
I believe the answer is:
short
This clue could be a double definition.
'dram' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'type drunkard says?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for short that I've seen before include "Wanting" , "Limited in duration" , "Literary genre such as those by ..." , "Not long enough" , "Uncivil, brief film" .)
