Love to bring a bad actor back from Nebraska (5)
I believe the answer is:
omaha
'nebraska' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'love to bring a bad actor back' is the wordplay.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'to bring' becomes 'a' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'a bad actor' becomes 'ham' (a ham is someone who overacts).
'back' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'a'+'ham'='aham'
'aham' written backwards gives 'maha'.
'o'+'maha'='OMAHA'
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for omaha that I've seen before include "American-Indians" , "State [CITY!!!]" , "This was old Indian territory" , "Largest city in Nebraska" , "Cotton fabric used for curtains and upholstery" .)
