Primarily: piece of stationery that is tacky, neon, often temporarily employed? (4-2,4)
I believe the answer is:
post-it note
'often temporarily employed?' is the definition.
'primarily piece of stationery that is tacky neon' is the wordplay.
'primarily' says to take the initial letters.
'neon' becomes 'note' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
The first letters of 'piece of stationery that is tacky' is 'postit'.
'postit'+'note'='POST-IT NOTE'
Can you help me to learn more?
