Kind of French clubs with dodgy casino Romeo inhabits (8)
I believe the answer is:
corsican
'kind of french clubs with dodgy casino romeo inhabits' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'kind of french clubs with dodgy casino romeo' is the wordplay.
'kind of french clubs' becomes 'c' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'dodgy' is an anagram indicator.
'romeo' becomes 'r' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'casino'+'r'='casinor'
'casinor' with letters rearranged gives 'orsican'.
'c'+'orsican'='CORSICAN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for corsican that I've seen before include "Island nationality of citizen of Ajaccio, say Napoleon" , "Napoleon, perhaps?" , "Mediterranean island native" , "Islander such as Napoleon" , "Nationality of citizen of Ajaccio, birthplace of Napoleon" .)
