Males to a T put in chances for bits and bobs (8)
I believe the answer is:
oddments
'bits and bobs' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'males to a t put in chances' is the wordplay.
'males' becomes 'men' (man is a kind of male).
'put in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'chances' becomes 'odds' (I've seen this before).
'men'+'t'='ment'
'ment' placed inside 'odds' is 'ODDMENTS'.
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for oddments that I've seen before include "just a few items" , "Mods tend to don bits and pieces" , "Bits and pieces, isolated garments" , "Assorted leftovers" , "Remnants" .)
