Bar menu not initially ruined - works at possibly dodgy suggestions (10)
I believe the answer is:
innuendoes
'possibly dodgy suggestions' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'bar menu not initially ruined works' is the wordplay.
'bar' becomes 'inn' (both can mean a drinking establishment).
'not initially' means to remove the first letter.
'ruined' is an anagram indicator.
'works' becomes 'does' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'menu' with its initial letter taken off is 'enu'.
'enu' is an anagram of 'uen'.
'inn'+'uen'+'does'='INNUENDOES'
'at' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for innuendoes that I've seen before include "Suggestive remarks" , "insinuations" .)
