Is she asinine when drunk? (5)
I believe the answer is:
annie
'drunk?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'is she asinine when' is the wordplay.
'is she' becomes 'ann' (I've seen this before).
'asinine' becomes 'i' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'when' becomes 'e' (I've seen this in other clues).
'ann'+'i'+'e'='ANNIE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for annie that I've seen before include "Musical based on cartoon strip" , "1977 Broadway musical" , "Oakley, Laurie or Hall" , "-- Oakley (Wild West)" , "Popular musical about Little Orphan" .)
