Film excerpt about reptile, current connection with it? (9,4)
I believe the answer is:
crocodile clip
'current connection with it?' is the definition.
(clip for an electrical cable)
'film excerpt about reptile' is the wordplay.
'film' becomes 'odile' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'excerpt' becomes 'clip' (I've seen this before).
'about' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'reptile' becomes 'croc' (short for crocodile).
'odile'+'clip'='odileclip'
'odileclip' after 'croc' is 'CROCODILE CLIP'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for crocodile clip that I've seen before include "Temporary cable connector" , "one completing circuit?" .)
