Punch weed, catching left nostril that suddenly spurts (8)
I believe the answer is:
blowhole
'nostril that suddenly spurts' is the definition.
'blowhole' can be an answer for 'nostril' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the remainder of the definition.
'punch weed catching left' is the wordplay.
'punch' becomes 'blow'.
'weed' becomes 'hoe' (I've seen this before).
'catching' indicates putting letters inside.
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'hoe' enclosing 'l' is 'hole'.
'blow'+'hole'='BLOWHOLE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for blowhole that I've seen before include "Nostril of whale or dolphin on the top of its head" , "Whale's nostril" , "Opening for the escape of gas or air" , "escape route from tunnel" .)
