spears

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'impales' is the definition.
(spearing is a kind of impaling)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for spears that I've seen before include "Stems of asparagus as weapons" , "Some broccoli" , "Pointed poles as weapons" , "pop singer" , "Javelins" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
