Bows? Nonsense! (12)
I believe the answer is:
fiddlesticks
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'bows?' is the first definition.
(I know this)
'nonsense' is the second definition.
(fiddlesticks can informally mean nonsense)
(Other definitions for fiddlesticks that I've seen before include "Bother!" , "Violin bows - rubbish!" , "tripe" , "Expression of annoyance or disagreement" , "Bilge" .)
