Mike's misery over Persian's remark? (4)
I believe the answer is:
meow
'persian's remark?' is the definition.
'meow' can be an answer for 'remark?' (I have seen 'Catty remark' mean 'meow' so perhaps 'remark' could also mean 'meow'). I am not certain of the 'persian's' bit.
'mike's misery over' is the wordplay.
'mike' becomes 'm' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'misery' becomes 'woe' (woe is a kind of misery).
'over' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'woe' in reverse letter order is 'eow'.
'm'+'eow'='MEOW'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for meow that I've seen before include "Tom's plea for attention" , "Cat's cry" , "Catty remark" , "Beastly noise" , "reply to spiteful dig" .)
