Accidents with lighters (6)
I believe the answer is:
spills
This could be a double definition.
'accidents' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
'lighters' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for spills that I've seen before include "Pieces of rolled paper used to light a fire" , "Pieces of rolled paper used to light fires" , "Causes liquid to flow out" .)
