As beaten by twin boys? (3-3)
I believe the answer is:
tom-tom
'as beaten by' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'twin boys?' is the wordplay.
'twin boys?' can mean two substitutions for 'boy'.
'boy' becomes 'tom'.
'boy' becomes 'tom' ().
'tom'+'tom'='TOM-TOM'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tom-tom that I've seen before include "Tall jazz drum" , "Drum - the piper's son (3-3);" , "Repetitive cat on the drum" , "Small drum beaten with hands" , "African drum beaten with hands, sounds repetitive" .)
