Suspect the men left late, or never! (4,2,7)
I believe the answer is:
tell me another
'suspect' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'the men left late or never' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found within the answer.
'men' could be 'm' (abbreviation) and 'm' is located in the answer.
'left' could be 'l' (common abbreviation) and 'l' is found in the answer.
'never' could be 'not' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'not' is located in 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 tell me another that I've seen before include "Expression of disbelief" , "Come off it!" , "I'm not convinced" , "I don't believe that!" , "from child after one bedtime story?" .)
