Rubbish Tesla not green anymore? (5)
I believe the answer is:
tripe
'rubbish' is the definition.
(both can mean nonsense)
'tesla not green anymore?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'tesla' could be 't' (scientific unit) and 't' is located in the answer.
'not green' could be 'ripe' ('ripe' is the opposite to 'green') and 'ripe' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tripe that I've seen before include "Rubbish; stomach as food" , "Pants" , "which a freegan might eat?" , "Rubbish; offal" , "Swallowed" .)
