European refusal to feel rubbish (8)
I believe the answer is:
nonsense
'rubbish' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'european refusal to feel' is the wordplay.
'european refusal' becomes 'non' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to feel' becomes 'sense' ('sense' can be a synonym of 'feel').
'non'+'sense'='NONSENSE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nonsense that I've seen before include "Rubbish, rot" , "one [TOMMYROT], thirteen [CODSWALLOP], or twenty [BALDERDASH]" , "Farce" , "'Foolishness, silliness (8)'" , "Gobbledegook" .)
