Bill Clinton gutted after a map is folded? (3,2,10)
I believe the answer is:
act of parliament
'bill clinton gutted after a map is folded?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'bill clinton gutted after a map is folded?' is the wordplay.
'bill' becomes 'ac' (short for account).
'gutted' means to look at the middle letters (I've seen 'guts' mean this (the insides of the word)).
'is folded?' indicates an anagram.
The central letters of 'clinton' are 'linto'.
'linto'+'after'+'map'='lintoaftermap'
'lintoaftermap' is an anagram of 'tofparliament'.
'ac'+'tofparliament'='ACT OF PARLIAMENT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for act of parliament that I've seen before include "Bill approved" , "Law" , "Statute" .)
