Empty points? Rubbish! (8)
I believe the answer is:
nonsense
This could be a double definition.
'empty points?' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'rubbish' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
(Other definitions for nonsense that I've seen before include "Claptrap, hogwash" , "Bunk" , "folly" , "Baloney" , "Words or ideas that don't make sense" .)
