Is taking pop out of town (4)
I believe the answer is:
pisa
'town' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'is taking pop out' is the wordplay.
'taking pop' becomes 'pa' (both can mean father. I am not sure about the 'taking' bit.).
'out' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'is' placed into 'pa' is 'PISA'.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pisa that I've seen before include "City on the River Arno" , "Site of the famous leaning tower" , "There's a marked inclination here" , "much-visited city" , "listed building site" .)
