One some bend over backwards for and then smack? (7,5)
I believe the answer is:
blarney stone
'smack?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'one some bend over backwards for and' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'one' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is located in the answer.
'some' could be 'a' and 'a' is present in the answer.
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is located in the answer.
'over' could be 're' and 're' is found in the leftover letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'then' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
