Does it spray ink all over the place? (8,3)
I believe the answer is:
fountain pen
'place?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fountain pen that I've seen before include "Ink writing device" , "Writing implement" , "Writer" .)
