Funny name for ship? (3,8)
I believe the answer is:
hms pinafore
'funny name for ship?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'funny name for ship?' is the wordplay.
'funny' indicates anagramming the letters.
'name'+'for'+'ship'='nameforship'
'nameforship' is an anagram of 'HMS PINAFORE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hms pinafore that I've seen before include "ship?" , "G & S' alternative for 'The Lass That Loved a Sailor'" , "Light work" .)
