Energy displayed by Oscar when not moving? (5)
I believe the answer is:
oomph
'energy' is the definition.
(oomph can mean energy or excitement)
'oscar when not moving?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'oscar' could be 'o' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.) and 'o' is located in the answer.
'not' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'mph' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'displayed by' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for oomph that I've seen before include "Exciting energy" , "Vitality - sex appeal (informal)" , "drive" , "Ginger" , "Sexy, exciting quality" .)
