'blonde?' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'funny place for a' is the wordplay.

'a' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'fir' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
