After wordplay, poke one's tongue? (7)
I believe the answer is:
punjabi
'tongue?' is the definition.
(Punjabi is an example)
'after wordplay poke one's' is the wordplay.
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'wordplay' becomes 'pun' (synonyms).
'poke' becomes 'jab' (synonyms).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'pun' next to 'jab' is 'punjab'.
'punjab'+'i'='PUNJABI'
(Other definitions for punjabi that I've seen before include "talk of Amritsar?" , "tongue" , "Language spoken in an area between Pakistan and India" , "Subcontinental language" , "From a state in Northwest India" .)
