'stripper leaving greece poorer' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'twirled leg at home' is the wordplay.
'twirled' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'twirling' mean this).
'at home' becomes 'in' ('I'm in' can mean 'I'm at home').
'leg' is an anagram of 'elg'.
'elg'+'in'='ELGIN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for elgin that I've seen before include "Town near Lossiemouth" , "Scottish admin centre" , "Scots town; - marbles" , "here in Britain?" , "Earl who acquired Parthenon marbles" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
