First of all, probing young journalist asked me about strange bedtime habit? (7)
I believe the answer is:
pyjamas
'bedtime habit?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'first of all probing young journalist asked me about strange' is the wordplay.
'first of all' says to take the initial letters.
The first letters of 'probing young journalist asked me about strange' is 'PYJAMAS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pyjamas that I've seen before include "Nightclothes" , "Night attire" , "Nightwear" , "Bedclothes" , "Jam a spy into these at night" .)
