Money and a tiny bit of comfort: is it for the birds? (10)
I believe the answer is:
breadcrumb
'comfort is it for the birds?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'money and a tiny bit' is the wordplay.
'money' becomes 'bread' (slang term for money).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a tiny bit' becomes 'crumb' (I've seen this before).
'bread'+'crumb'='BREADCRUMB'
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for breadcrumb that I've seen before include "Loaf fragment" , "Particle of a loaf" , "little food" , "Tiny piece of a loaf" , "Bit of a loaf?" .)
