Quits on the phone like Polly? (6)
I believe the answer is:
parity
'polly?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'quits on the phone like' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found in the answer.
'like' could be 'y' (similar in meaning) and 'y' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'pari' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for parity that I've seen before include "Equal status or pay" , "Equality, equivalence" , "equal treatment" , "Equality in status" , "Equal condition" .)
