In both directions I see a commotion (3-2)
I believe the answer is:
hoo-ha
'commotion' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'in both directions i see a' is the wordplay.
'in both directions' becomes 'ho' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'i see' becomes 'oh' (both can mean 'I understand').
'ho'+'oh'+'a'='HOO-HA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hoo-ha that I've seen before include "Fuss (informal)" , "Kerfuffle" , "Song and dance" , "Disturbance" , "In slang, it's a commotion" .)
