Name ship “Oscar Wilde” perhaps (8)
I believe the answer is:
dubliner
'oscar wilde perhaps' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'name ship' is the wordplay.
'name' becomes 'dub' (as in dubbing someone with a particular name).
'ship' becomes 'liner' (liner is a kind of ship).
'dub'+'liner'='DUBLINER'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dubliner that I've seen before include "Capital dweller, as depicted by Joyce" , "European capitalist" , "Native of Ireland's capital" , "Capital man" , "Irishman" .)
