Skeleton in the bathroom! (6)
I believe the answer is:
loofah
'skeleton in' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'bathroom' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'bathroom' could be 'loo' (loo is a kind of bathroom) and 'loo' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'fah' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for loofah that I've seen before include "something by bath?" , "climber" , "Dishcloth gourd" , "Fibrous part of gourd used as scrubber" , "Vegetable bath sponge" .)
