Drool over Irish whiskey? (6)
I believe the answer is:
spirit
'drool' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'over irish whiskey?' is the wordplay.
'over' indicates putting letters inside.
'irish' becomes 'IR' (abbreviation for Irish).
'whiskey?' becomes 'spit' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ir' put within 'spit' is 'SPIRIT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for spirit that I've seen before include "rum, perhaps" , "Vivacity" , "Distilled liquor" , "The non-physical part of a person" , "25 28 [MARS LANDER]" .)
