Maybe Bourbon queen's bored with sideboards (8)
I believe the answer is:
whiskery
'maybe bourbon queen's bored with sideboards' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'maybe bourbon queen's bored with' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'maybe' could be 'i' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'i' is found in the answer.
'with' could be 'w' (abbreviation) and 'w' is found in the answer.
'queen' could be 'er' (abbreviation for Elizabeth Regina) and 'er' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for whiskery that I've seen before include "With facial hair" , "Hairy" , "Bearded" , "mutton chops" .)
