Husband amongst toilet staff? It’s an ambiguous position (8)
I believe the answer is:
loophole
'an ambiguous position' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'husband amongst toilet staff?' is the wordplay.
'husband' becomes 'h' (abbreviation).
'amongst' indicates putting letters inside (I've seen this in other clues).
'toilet' becomes 'loo' (loo can informally mean a toilet).
'staff?' becomes 'pole' (both can mean a stick).
'loo'+'pole'='loopole'
'h' put into 'loopole' is 'LOOPHOLE'.
'it's' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for loophole that I've seen before include "Exploitable ambiguity" , "way to escape penalty" , "Means to escape" , "Opportunity to evade difficulty" , "A way to evade an obligation" .)
