Owner of energy company producing gas from magnolias
I believe the answer is:
oilman
'owner of energy company' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'producing gas from magnolias' is the wordplay.
'producing' is an anagram indicator.
'from' is a deletion indicator.
'magnolias' with 'gas' removed is 'mnolia'.
'mnolia' anagrammed gives 'OILMAN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for oilman that I've seen before include "Worker" , "One working in the "black gold" industry" , "Person involved with crude" , "Owner of company that sinks wells for fuel" .)
