Brief, clever statement for the last porker and sheep (7)
I believe the answer is:
epigram
'brief clever statement' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'the last porker and sheep' is the wordplay.
'last' says to take the final letters.
'porker' becomes 'pig' (I've seen this in another clue).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'sheep' becomes 'ram' (male sheep).
The last letter of 'the' is 'e'.
'e'+'pig'+'ram'='EPIGRAM'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for epigram that I've seen before include "Witticism - adage" , "Pithy and witty saying" , "Gnome" , "Witty, paradoxical remark" , "Sally perhaps" .)
