Residence, so to speak (4)
I believe the answer is:
digs
'residence so to speak' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for digs that I've seen before include "Lodgings, informally" , "mines" , "rented accommodation" , "Jibes" , "Excavates; lodgings" .)
