Scottish regional side giving thanks for a happy ending (3)
I believe the answer is:
tay
'scottish regional side' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'thanks for a happy ending' is the wordplay.
'thanks' becomes 'ta' (UK informal version of 'thank you').
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'ending' indicates one should take the final letters (the ending of the word).
The final letter of 'happy' is 'y'.
'ta'+'y'='TAY'
'giving' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tay that I've seen before include "Longest river of Scotland" , "Scotland's longest river" , "Scottish loch" , "Wicklow lake" , "The - Bridge Disaster (McGonagall)" .)
