Work break for Fox and Allen, for example (8)
I believe the answer is:
furlough
'work break for fox' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'allen for example' is the wordplay.
'allen for' becomes 'fur' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'example' becomes 'lough' (I have seen 'Example of liquidity' mean 'lough' so perhaps 'example' could also mean 'lough').
'fur'+'lough'='FURLOUGH'
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for furlough that I've seen before include "Very unattractive" , "Leave of absence from military duties" , "Temporary leave of absence from military duty" .)
