'can be used to pound' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'meat supplied by first person right?' is the wordplay.
'meat' becomes 'ham' (ham is a kind of meat).
'supplied by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'first person' becomes 'me' (first-person pronoun).
'right?' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'ham'+'me'+'r'='HAMMER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hammer that I've seen before include "Nail banger" , "Drive nails" , "Carpentry tool" , "Pounding tool" , "Weaken, damage" .)
