Call the German before party, showing heroism (7,2)
I believe the answer is:
derring do
'call the german before party showing heroism' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'call the german before party' is the wordplay.
'call' becomes 'ring' (telephone call).
'the german' becomes 'der' ('the' in German).
'before' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'party' becomes 'do' (do is a kind of party).
'ring' put after 'der' is 'derring'.
'derring'+'do'='DERRING-DO'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for derring do that I've seen before include "act of bravery" , "bold action" , "intrepid action" , "Brave actions" , "Audacious action" .)
