Force workplace staff to accept extremely idiotic post (6,7)
I believe the answer is:
police station
'force workplace' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'staff to accept extremely idiotic post' is the wordplay.
'staff' becomes 'pole' (both can mean a stick).
'to accept' indicates putting letters inside.
'extremely idiotic' becomes 'ic' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'post' becomes 'station' (a station is a post).
'pole' enclosing 'ic' is 'police'.
'police'+'station'='POLICE STATION'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for police station that I've seen before include "headquarters for law- enforcers" , "Cop shop" , "PC's base" , "Nick" , "Constabulary HQ" .)
