Where can one get it? Oh, from some local source (7)
I believe the answer is:
alcohol
'local source' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'where can one get it? oh from some' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is found within the answer.
'oh' could be 'o' and 'o' is found in the answer.
'some' could be 'a' and 'a' is found 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 alcohol that I've seen before include "John Barleycorn" , "Wine, perhaps" , "Intoxicating liquid" , "The hard stuff" , "wine, say" .)
