Gain energy facing job -- is one puffed up? (11)
I believe the answer is:
profiterole
'one puffed up?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'gain energy facing job' is the wordplay.
'gain' becomes 'profit' ('profit' can be a synonym of 'gain'**).
'energy' becomes 'e' (physics symbol as in E=mcr).
'facing' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'job' becomes 'role' (I've seen this in other clues).
'profit'+'e'+'role'='PROFITEROLE'
'is' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for profiterole that I've seen before include "something to eat" , "Cream-filled pastry ball" , "Sweet thing" , "Small case of choux pastry with cream filling" , "Something sweet" .)
