Farewell comment also suppressing lots (but not all) (6-2)
I believe the answer is:
toodle-oo
'farewell' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'also suppressing lots but not all' is the wordplay.
'also' becomes 'too' (synonyms).
'suppressing' is an insertion indicator.
'lots' becomes 'oodles' (informal term for a large amount).
'but not all' means to remove the last letter.
'oodles' with its final letter taken off is 'oodle'.
'too' placed around 'oodle' is 'TOODLE-OO'.
'comment' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for toodle-oo that I've seen before include "Bye!" , "Bye-bye!" , "See you later!" , "Goodbye (dated)" , "Cheerio" .)
