Naming board having got French and German approval? (5)
I believe the answer is:
ouija
'naming board' is the definition.
'ouija' can be an answer for 'board' (Ouija board is an example). I am not certain of the 'naming' bit.
'got french and german approval?' is the wordplay.
'got french' becomes 'oui' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'german approval?' becomes 'ja' ('yes' in German).
'oui'+'ja'='OUIJA'
'having' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ouija that I've seen before include "Type of board used in seances" , "This board is used in spiritualistic sessions" , "Medium's medium?" , "This board is used in spiritualism" , "Board for contacting spirits" .)
