Eccentric Wars of the Roses lot, queen and king, proving this? (6,4,2,5,2,4)
I believe the answer is:
there's nowt so queer as folk
'proving this?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'eccentric wars of the roses lot queen and king' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'eccentric' could be 'queer' (I've seen this before) and 'queer' is found in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is present in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is located in the answer.
'queen' could be 'er' (abbreviation for Elizabeth Regina) and 'er' is present in the answer.
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is present in the answer.
'king' could be 'k' (chess abbreviation) and 'k' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
