Panto character's revolutionary container for bodily effluvium? (7)
I believe the answer is:
buttons
'panto character's revolutionary' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'container for bodily effluvium?' is the wordplay.
'container' becomes 'butt' (butt is a kind of container).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'bodily effluvium?' becomes 'ons' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'butt'+'ons'='BUTTONS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for buttons that I've seen before include "They secure" , "part in pantomime" , "pantomime page boy" , "Pantomime pageboy; fasteners" , "Friend of Cinderella" .)
