What to exclaim when some jeers are heard? (3)
I believe the answer is:
gee
'what to exclaim' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'some jeers are heard?' is the wordplay.
'some jeers' becomes 'ge' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'are heard?' becomes 'e' (I've seen this in other clues).
'ge'+'e'='GEE'
'when' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gee that I've seen before include "move faster" , "Gosh" , "Expression of mild surprise (mainly US)" , "Gracious" , "Mild exclamation" .)
