Likewise spooked, a mouse bit flirt (4,2,3)
I believe the answer is:
same to you
'flirt' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'likewise spooked a mouse bit' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'likewise' could be 'same' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'same' is found in the answer.
'bit' could be 'o' (resembles 0, a binary digit or bit) and 'o' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
