Down-and-out given something for breakfast perhaps in pub (6)
I believe the answer is:
beggar
'down-and-out' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'given something for breakfast perhaps in pub' is the wordplay.
'given' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'something for breakfast' becomes 'g' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'perhaps' becomes 'eg' (for example).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'pub' becomes 'bar' (both are drinking establishments).
'g' put after 'eg' is 'egg'.
'egg' put into 'bar' is 'BEGGAR'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for beggar that I've seen before include "Down-and-out" , "Seeker of alms" , "One cannot be a chooser" , "Mendicant or cadger" , "Pauper or supplicant" .)
