Adolescent fondness for a bit of leg? (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
calf love
'adolescent' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'fondness for a bit of leg?' is the wordplay.
'fondness' becomes 'love' (I've seen this before).
'for' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'a bit of leg?' becomes 'calf' ('calf' is part of 'leg').
'love' after 'calf' is 'CALF-LOVE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for calf love that I've seen before include "Youthful affection" , "youthful passion" , "Adolescent infatuation" , "Immature affection" , "Immature amorous attachment" .)
