Naval officer getting over runs in unplumbed toilet (9)
I believe the answer is:
commodore
'naval officer' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'over runs in unplumbed toilet' is the wordplay.
'over' becomes 'o' (cricket abbreviation).
'runs' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'unplumbed toilet' becomes 'commode' (synonyms. I am not sure about the 'unplumbed' bit.).
'o'+'r'='or'
'or' inserted into 'commode' is 'COMMODORE'.
'getting' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for commodore that I've seen before include "President of a yacht club" , "Naval rank junior to rear-admiral" , "officer, surely?" , "senior officer" , "Naval officer" .)
