Boring blokes with information on aluminium (6)
I believe the answer is:
menial
'boring' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'blokes with information on aluminium' is the wordplay.
'blokes' becomes 'men' (bloke can informally mean a man).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'information' becomes 'i' (common abbreviation for information).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'aluminium' becomes 'al' (chemical symbol).
'men'+'i'+'al'='MENIAL'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for menial that I've seen before include "Humble - servant" , "Servile and humiliating" , "(Of work) unskilled" , "(Suitable for) servant of low status" , "Domestic servant" .)
