Lost wiretap about gun (5,6)
I believe the answer is:
water pistol
'gun' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'lost wiretap about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates an anagram.
'lost'+'wiretap'='lostwiretap'
'lostwiretap' is an anagram of 'WATER-PISTOL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for water pistol that I've seen before include "Plaything" , "Source of aggressive jet" , "harmless weapon?" , "Toy firearm" , "Toy weapon" .)
