Sarcastic remark from glutton into English butter? (7)
I believe the answer is:
epigram
'sarcastic remark' is the definition.
'epigram' can be an answer for 'remark' (I have seen 'Witty remark' mean 'epigram' so perhaps 'remark' could also mean 'epigram'). I'm unsure of the 'sarcastic' bit.
'glutton into english butter?' is the wordplay.
'glutton' becomes 'pig' (I've seen this before).
'into' is an insertion indicator.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'butter?' becomes 'ram' (a ram is something which 'butts').
'e'+'ram'='eram'
'pig' placed within 'eram' is 'EPIGRAM'.
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for epigram that I've seen before include "witty comment" , "Concise witty remark" , "it might be natural to wag" , "Gnome" , "Old chestnut" .)
