"Put the records back," you say and say angrily (8)
I believe the answer is:
splutter
'put the records back' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'say and say angrily' is the wordplay.
'say' becomes 'utter' (to utter something is to speak or say it).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'say angrily' becomes 'spl' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'utter' after 'spl' is 'SPLUTTER'.
'you' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for splutter that I've seen before include "Articulate confusedly, as in a rage" , "Talk with angry incoherence" , "Make a series of spitting or choking sounds" , "Speak rapidly and indistinctly, as in anger" , "Talk incoherently" .)
