Small leaf peeled off school clown's work passed round (4-2,4)
I believe the answer is:
post-it note
'small leaf peeled off school clown's' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'work passed round' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'work' could be 'post' (post is a kind of work) and 'post' is found within the answer.
'round' could be 'o' (o is a circular letter) and 'o' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
