Pouch item from the chippy?
I believe the answer is:
codpiece
'pouch item from the chippy?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'pouch item' is the wordplay.
'pouch' becomes 'cod' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'item' becomes 'piece' (piece is a kind of item).
'cod'+'piece'='CODPIECE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for codpiece that I've seen before include "for promotion of virility?" , "What kept privates in place" , "Medieval male accoutrement for the nether regions" , "men put on centuries ago" , "Male dress item of former times" .)
