Very poor description of how one fell unconscious (4,3,3)
I believe the answer is:
down and out
'very poor' is the definition.
'down-and-out' can be an answer for 'poor' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'very' bit.
'description of how one fell unconscious' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found within the answer.
'one' could be 'an' (an apple is one apple) and 'an' is found within the answer.
'unconscious' could be 'out' (similar in meaning) and 'out' is present 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 down and out that I've seen before include "in Paris and London, perhaps" , "unable to fight any further?" , "Unfortunate" , "Tramp" , "destitute" .)
