Dickie Bird initially backed English one and two (3,3)
I believe the answer is:
bow tie
'dickie' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'bird initially backed english one and two' is the wordplay.
'initially' indicates taking the first letters.
'backed' is a reversal indicator.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
The initial letter of 'bird' is 'b'.
'e'+'i'+'two'='eitwo'
'eitwo' backwards is 'owtie'.
'b'+'owtie'='BOW TIE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bow tie that I've seen before include "One may be seen with DJ" , "Male neckwear worn with evening dress" , "CLOTHING" , "Neck wear" , "accompaniment for DJ" .)
