Fathead collecting no dole (6)
I believe the answer is:
noodle
'fathead collecting' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.
'no dole' is the wordplay.
'no dole' can be anagrammed to 'NOODLE'.
But, I'm unsure how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for noodle that I've seen before include "Piece of pasta - fool" , "Simpleton; piece of pasta" , "Piece of pasta for foolish person?" , "Dope - put in the soup" , "Flat strip of pasta" .)
