Celebrated timer being thrown out after bungled initiation (3,3)
I believe the answer is:
big ben
'celebrated timer' is the definition.
'Big Ben' can be an answer for 'timer' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'celebrated' bit.
'being thrown out after bungled initiation' is the wordplay.
'thrown out' indicates an anagram.
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'initiation' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'bungled' is 'b'.
'being' is an anagram of 'igben'.
'igben' after 'b' is 'BIG-BEN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for big ben that I've seen before include "Nickname of the Great Bell of the Palace of Westminster" , "sets challenge for Scottish hill-walkers?" , "London landmark" , "Great clock-tower in Westminster" , "He's large in London" .)
