Follow German reel about? Drivel (8)
I believe the answer is:
doggerel
'drivel' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'follow german reel about?' is the wordplay.
'follow' becomes 'dog' (dog can mean to follow or torment).
'german' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'about?' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'about' mean this).
'reel' with letters rearranged gives 'erel'.
'dog'+'g'+'erel'='DOGGEREL'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for doggerel that I've seen before include "trivial lines" , "Unpretentious verses" , "lines of inferior quality" , "Badly written verse" , "Poor poetry" .)
