Stupid missing beer when carrying round? (9)
I believe the answer is:
pointless
'stupid' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'missing beer when carrying round?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'round?' could be 'o' (round can mean a round object) and 'o' is located in the answer.
'beer' could be 'pint' (beer is typically served by the pint) and 'pint' is located in the leftover letters.
The remaining letters 'less' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pointless that I've seen before include "Ineffectual" , "Futile, irrelevant" , "silly" , "absurd" , "Like a blunt arrow" .)
