Hit button on the counter (4)
I believe the answer is:
bonk
'hit' is the definition.
(bonking is a kind of hitting)
'button on the counter' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'on' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for bonk that I've seen is " Hit hard (on the head?)".)
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
