English not serious about working and saving money (8)
I believe the answer is:
economic
'saving money' is the definition.
'english not serious about working' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'not serious' becomes 'comic' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'working' becomes 'on' (e.g. a machine is working or on).
'comic' placed around 'on' is 'conomic'.
'e'+'conomic'='ECONOMIC'
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for economic that I've seen before include "Inexpensive" , "Relating ot the management of wealth" , "Likely to bring a profit" , "One comic (anag)" , "Comic one giving a good return for money laid out" .)
