Perhaps a Floridian can? (8)
I believe the answer is:
restroom
'perhaps a' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'floridian can?' is the wordplay.
'floridian' becomes 'rest' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'can?' becomes 'room' (can is a kind of room).
'rest'+'room'='RESTROOM'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for restroom that I've seen before include "Where some may have recovered" , "John" .)
