Military order some body parts (8,4)
I believe the answer is:
shoulder arms
'military order' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'body parts' is the wordplay.
'body' becomes 'shoulder' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'parts' becomes 'arms' (arm is a kind of part).
'shoulder'+'arms'='SHOULDER ARMS'
'some' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for shoulder arms that I've seen is " Military order".)
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
