Cabinetmaker: "Damage to wood? Hang getting beer" (11)
I believe the answer is:
chippendale
'cabinetmaker' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'damage to wood? hang getting beer' is the wordplay.
'damage' becomes 'chip' (I've seen this before).
'to wood? hang getting' becomes 'pend' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'beer' becomes 'ale' (type of beer).
'chip'+'pend'+'ale'='CHIPPENDALE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chippendale that I've seen before include "18th century furniture designer" , "18th-century style of chairs and cabinets" , "Thomas --, eighteenth century English furniture-maker" , "Furniture maker" , "stripper" .)
