What you're right about the earl having on his car?
'what you're right about the earl having on his car?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
'right about the earl having on his car?' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'rt' (abbreviation as in Rt Hon- the Right Honourable).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'having' says to put letters next to each other.
'on his car?' becomes 'igh' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'earl'+'igh'='earligh'
'rt' enclosing 'earligh' is 'REAR-LIGHT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
