finns

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'foreigners' bit of fun at pubs' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'bit of fun at pubs' is the wordplay.
'bit of' suggests taking the first letters.
'at' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'pubs' becomes 'inns' (I've seen this before).
The initial letter of 'fun' is 'f'.
'f'+'inns'='FINNS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for finns that I've seen before include "Natives of Helsinki" , "foreigners" .)
