Bachelor saying revolutionary verse for profit? (6,4)
I believe the answer is:
bottom line
'profit?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to property as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'bachelor saying revolutionary verse' is the wordplay.
'bachelor' becomes 'B' (abbreviation e.g. BA=Bachelor of Arts).
'saying revolutionary' becomes 'ottom' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'verse' becomes 'line' (I've seen this in another clue).
'b'+'ottom'+'line'='BOTTOM LINE'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bottom line that I've seen before include "Fundamental factor" , "location of this answer" , "The basic reality of a situation" , "Fundamental aspect of a situation" , "Essential point (for an accountant?)" .)
