Unusual round objects for nonconformists (8)
I believe the answer is:
oddballs
'nonconformists' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'unusual round objects' is the wordplay.
'unusual' becomes 'oddball' (I've seen this before).
'round objects' becomes 's' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'oddball'+'s'='ODDBALLS'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for oddballs that I've seen before include "Strange or eccentric people" , "Eccentric types" , "nuts" , "Bad dolls for eccentrics" , "Weirdos" .)
