Mimicking bird, cat who looks for excitement? (7,3)
I believe the answer is:
peeping tom
'cat who looks for excitement?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'mimicking bird' is the wordplay.
'mimicking' becomes 'peeping' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'bird' becomes 'tom' (tom is a kind of bird).
'peeping'+'tom'='PEEPING TOM'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for peeping tom that I've seen before include "who likes looking at females" , "Voyeur" , "One who spies pruriently on others" , "Spy" .)
