Clobber a bore for crying out loud! (6)
I believe the answer is:
attire
'clobber' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'a bore for crying out loud' is the wordplay.
'bore' becomes 'tire' (I've seen this in other clues).
'for crying out loud' shows a homophone (sound like).
'a'+'tire'='atire'
'atire' sounds like 'ATTIRE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for attire that I've seen before include "Garments" , "Prepare" , "Clothing - tear it (anag)" , "Formal clothing" , "Formal clothes" .)
