Hog freshly teflon-coated ball, now carrier's home (6,4)
I believe the answer is:
pigeon loft
'carrier's home' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'hog freshly teflon-coated ball now' is the wordplay.
'hog' becomes 'pig' (synonyms).
'freshly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'coated' indicates putting letters inside.
'ball now' becomes 'o' (O looks like a ball. I am not sure about the 'now' bit.).
'teflon' with letters rearranged gives '[teflon]'.
'pig'+'[teflon]'='pig[teflon]'
'pigeonlft' enclosing 'o' is 'PIGEON-LOFT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for pigeon loft that I've seen is " flier's resting-place".)
