Small time writer describing spot for clarinet? (6)
I believe the answer is:
bistro
'spot for clarinet?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'small time writer describing' is the wordplay.
'small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size).
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'writer' becomes 'biro' (type of pen, something which writes).
'describing' means one lot of letters goes inside another (describe can mean to form the outline of).
's'+'t'='st'
'st' put within 'biro' is 'BISTRO'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bistro that I've seen before include "Coming out of restaurant" , "A small informal restaurant from France" , "Small informal French cafi" , "Intimate eatery" , "Eating place" .)
