Do soldiers find drill so? (6)
I believe the answer is:
boring
'drill so?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'do soldiers' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'soldiers' could be 'or' (military abbreviation for other ranks) and 'or' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'bing' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'find' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for boring that I've seen before include "Drilling - it's monotonous" , "Mentally wearying" , "like watching paint dry?" , "Tedious, tiresome" , "Dull and repetitive, a turn-off" .)
