Nobody makes Philip tweet (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pipsqueak

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'nobody' is the definition.
(pipsqueak is a kind of nobody)

'philip tweet' is the wordplay.
'philip' becomes 'pip' (can be a nickname for Philip).
'tweet' becomes 'squeak' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'pip'+'squeak'='PIPSQUEAK'

'makes' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pipsqueak that I've seen before include "Contemptible person" , "Insignificant person" , "Nobody" , "Shrimp" , "Whippersnapper" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
