Polish film in trouble (6)
I believe the answer is:
buffet
'trouble' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'polish film' is the wordplay.
'polish' becomes 'buff' (buffing is a kind of polishing).
'film' becomes 'ET' (E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial).
'buff'+'et'='BUFFET'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for buffet that I've seen before include "Help yourself table" , "Refreshment counter - slap" , "Box" , "place selling snacks" , "A self-help dining experience" .)
