Male hanging around to enjoy carnival (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
mardi gras
'carnival' is the definition.
(Mardi Gras is an example)
'male hanging around to enjoy' is the wordplay.
'male' becomes 'm' (common abbreviation).
'hanging' becomes 'arras' (arras is a kind of hanging).
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'to enjoy' becomes 'dig' (slang).
'arras' enclosing 'dig' is 'ardigras'.
'm'+'ardigras'='MARDI GRAS'
(Other definitions for mardi gras that I've seen before include "Shrove Tuesday carnival" , "Time for carnival" , "Shrove Tuesday festival" , "Day for 9 acrosses" , "Carnival (day)" .)
