Stylish being finally leaving for pub — a rogue, possibly? (8)
I believe the answer is:
elephant
'stylish being' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'finally leaving for pub a rogue possibly?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'pub' could be 'ph' (abbreviation for Public House) and 'ph' is found in the answer.
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for elephant that I've seen before include "Endangered Species" , "Trumpeting animal" , "Trunk carrier?" , "Trunk on one" , "it's said to have lots of memory" .)
