Flies turn circles (4)
I believe the answer is:

'flies' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'turn circles' is the second definition.

Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nips that I've seen before include "Pinches as crab does" , "Pinches - in the bud?" , "Small drinks and small bites" , "Pinches in a spin" , "cuts" .)
