Where the sailors get a ruddy big wave? (3,3)
I believe the answer is:
red sea
'where the sailors get a' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.
'ruddy big wave?' is the wordplay.
'ruddy' becomes 'red' (synonyms).
'big wave?' becomes 'sea' (I've seen this in another clue).
'red'+'sea'='RED SEA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for red sea that I've seen before include "It parted to allow Moses and the exodus to cross" , "One end for the Suez canal" , "Water between north Africa and Arabia" , "What the Suez canal links with the Mediterranean" , "Water bordering Egypt" .)
