Speaking to audience about what house stumps are for? (7,3,5)
I believe the answer is:
holding the floor
'speaking to audience about' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'house stumps are for?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'house' could be 'ho' (abbreviation for house) and 'ho' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'what' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
