Similar item of furniture introduced to curious father and bride (5,2,1,7)
I believe the answer is:
birds of a feather
'similar' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'item of furniture introduced to curious father and bride' is the wordplay.
'item of furniture' becomes 'sofa' (I've seen this before).
'introduced to' indicates putting letters inside.
'curious' indicates anagramming the letters.
'and' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'father' put after 'bride' is 'bridefather'.
'bridefather' with letters rearranged gives 'birdfeather'.
'sofa' placed inside 'birdfeather' is 'BIRDS OF A FEATHER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for birds of a feather that I've seen before include "like-minded people" , "they combine well!" , "sitcom" , "A kind" , "people of similar character" .)
