Bells head in battle? (4-4)
I believe the answer is:
ding-dong
'bells head' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to natural events as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'in battle?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'in' is found in 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 ding-dong that I've seen before include "Violent exchange - sound of a bell" , "Fight (with hammer and tongs?)" , "Sound of bell or slang argument" , "Fierce argument (colloq.)" , "Sound of a clapper bell" .)
