Doggedly acknowledge the applause for a success (3-3)
I believe the answer is:
bow-wow
'doggedly acknowledge the applause for a success' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'acknowledge the applause for a success' is the wordplay.
'acknowledge the applause' becomes 'bow' (I've seen this in another clue).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a success' becomes 'wow' (I have seen 'Huge success' mean 'wow' so perhaps 'success' could also mean 'wow').
'bow'+'wow'='BOW-WOW'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bow-wow that I've seen before include "A childish dog?" , "Cry of a dog" , "Dog's bark" , "A child's pet or toy dog" , "A dog for a child?" .)
