Charles's timber or meat? (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
chuck steak
'meat?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'charles's timber' is the wordplay.
'charles's' becomes 'chuck's'.
'timber' becomes 'teak' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'chucks'+'teak'='CHUCK STEAK'
'or' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chuck steak that I've seen before include "not the finest cut of meat" , "Cut of beef" .)
