Soldier in Cornish resort's something smuggled in swimwear? (6)
I believe the answer is:
budgie
'something smuggled in swimwear?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'soldier in cornish resort's' is the wordplay.
'soldier' becomes 'GI' (term for US soldier).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'cornish resort' becomes 'bude' (Bude is a town in Cornwall).
'gi' placed within 'bude' is 'BUDGIE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for budgie that I've seen before include "Abbreviated Australian cage-bird" , "Pet bird (abbr)" , "Small bird, domestic favourite" , "Cage-bird from Australia, in brief" , "Small domestic parakeet" .)
