Clip from rubbish trailer? (7)
I believe the answer is:
bulldog
'clip' is the definition.
(bulldog clip is a kind of clip)
'rubbish trailer?' is the wordplay.
'rubbish' becomes 'bull' (both can mean nonsense).
'trailer?' becomes 'dog' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'bull'+'dog'='BULLDOG'
'from' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bulldog that I've seen before include "Sturdy British canine" , "Iconic English canine" , "Breed of canine; stationery clip" , "found at the end of a lead" , "Canine breed noted for courage" .)
