Can grilling lead to fish feeling dull pain? (8)
I believe the answer is:
tingling
'feeling dull pain?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to thinking as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'can grilling lead to fish' is the wordplay.
'can' becomes 'tin' (both are metal containers).
'lead' says to take the initial letters.
'to fish' becomes 'ling' (ling is a kind of fish).
The initial letter of 'grilling' is 'g'.
'tin'+'g'+'ling'='TINGLING'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tingling that I've seen before include "feeling irritation" , "Mildly stinging" , "Glinting with itchy feeling in skin" , "Slight stinging sensation" , "Prickling or stinging sensation" .)
