Drink during funny beat sequence (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
drum roll
'beat sequence' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to natural events as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'drink during funny' is the wordplay.
'drink' becomes 'rum' (rum is a kind of drink).
'during' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'funny' becomes 'droll' (droll means dryly amusing).
'rum' inserted into 'droll' is 'DRUM ROLL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for drum roll that I've seen before include "Tattoo" , "Haydn symphony" , "musical introduction?" , "Rapid percussive sound" .)
