Nags fed garbled smokers’ rubbish (3-4)
I believe the answer is:
fag-ends
'smokers' rubbish' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'nags fed garbled' is the wordplay.
'garbled' is an anagram indicator.
'nags'+'fed'='nagsfed'
'nagsfed' is an anagram of 'FAG-ENDS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for fag-ends that I've seen is " Discarded parts of cigarettes".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
