Is stunned by diocese idols? (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
see stars
'is stunned' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'by diocese idols?' is the wordplay.
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'diocese' becomes 'see' (I've seen this in another clue).
'idols?' becomes 'stars' (idol is a kind of star).
'see' next to 'stars' is 'SEE STARS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for see stars that I've seen before include "Be stunned" , "affected by flashing lights" , "You may after whack on the head" , "as one may on beautiful night" , "suffer as a result of a strike?" .)
