Absurd tax can on male rumpy (4,3)
I believe the answer is:
manx cat
'rumpy' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'absurd tax can on male' is the wordplay.
'absurd' indicates an anagram.
'on' indicates putting letters inside (as in clothing \'on\' a person).
'male' becomes 'm' (common abbreviation**).
'tax'+'can'='taxcan'
'taxcan' with letters rearranged gives 'anxcat'.
'anxcat' going around 'm' is 'MANX CAT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for manx cat that I've seen before include "Type of feline" , "Short-tailed feline" , "Tail-less feline from Isle of Man" , "Tailless animal" , "Domestic feline lacking a tail (4, 3)" .)
