Where we get crude lass turning up after cry for attention (3,3)
I believe the answer is:
oil rig
'where we get crude' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'lass turning up after cry for attention' is the wordplay.
'lass' becomes 'girl' (lass can mean a young woman).
'turning up' says the letters should be written backwards.
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'cry for attention' becomes 'oi' (oi!).
'girl' backwards is 'lrig'.
'lrig' after 'oi' is 'OIL-RIG'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for oil rig that I've seen before include "source of offshore wealth" , "'Structure for drilling (3,3)'" , "It's used for drilling, at sea perhaps" , "N. Sea platform" , "platform in the main" .)
