Different son consuming regular cuppa? (9)
I believe the answer is:
elevenses
'different son consuming regular cuppa?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'different son consuming regular' is the wordplay.
'different' becomes 'else' (synonyms).
'son' becomes 's' (genealogical abbreviation for son).
'consuming' indicates putting letters inside.
'regular' becomes 'even' (synonyms).
'else'+'s'='elses'
'elses' going around 'even' is 'ELEVENSES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for elevenses that I've seen before include "Refreshments" , "Early drink" , "tenses found immediately before this?" , "Mid-morning break" , "Mid-morning snack" .)
