French boy crushes fruit flat (4-1-5)
I believe the answer is:
pied-a-terre
'flat' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'french boy crushes fruit' is the wordplay.
'french boy' becomes 'pierre' (I am not sure about the 'french' bit.).
'crushes' indicates putting letters inside.
'fruit' becomes 'date' (date is a kind of fruit).
'pierre' going around 'date' is 'PIED-A-TERRE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pied-a-terre that I've seen before include "Small secondary flat or house" , "bijou accommodation" , "Lodging kept for occasional use (French)" , "Small home kept for occasional use" , "Dwelling for occasional use" .)
