Show I meant to have a break point (7)
I believe the answer is:
matinee
'show' is the definition.
(matinee is a kind of show)
'i meant to have a break point' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'i' could be 'a' and 'a' is found in the answer.
'point' could be 'ne' (NE is an example) and 'ne' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for matinee that I've seen before include "First jackets" , "Afternoon theatre" , "Afternoon showing of play" , "After lunch, show" , "Daytime performance of play etc" .)
