Jumper in rubbish by river in mist (8)
I believe the answer is:
bullfrog
'jumper' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'rubbish by river in mist' is the wordplay.
'rubbish' becomes 'bull' (both can mean nonsense).
'by river' becomes 'r' (abbreviation for river. I am not sure about the 'by' bit.).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'mist' becomes 'fog' (synonyms).
'r' placed into 'fog' is 'frog'.
'bull'+'frog'='BULLFROG'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bullfrog that I've seen before include "Deep-booming croaker" , "Creature with a deep croak" , "Large leaping amphibian" , "Jumper" , "Large amphibian with a deep voice" .)
