Bank on foreign article's drivel? (8)
I believe the answer is:
doggerel
'drivel?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'bank on foreign article's' is the wordplay.
'bank' becomes 'dogger' (I have seen 'A bank' mean 'dogger' so perhaps 'bank' could also mean 'dogger').
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'foreign article' becomes 'el' (Spanish definite article).
'dogger'+'el'='DOGGEREL'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for doggerel that I've seen before include "Verse lacking artistry" , "Unpretentious verse" , "Very bad poetry or verse" , "Terrible poetry" , "questionable verse" .)
