Quarrel about lake's squishy sound (5)
I believe the answer is:
splat
'squishy sound' is the definition.
'splat' can be an answer for 'sound' (I know that splat is a type of splash). I am not certain of the 'squishy' bit.
'quarrel about lake's' is the wordplay.
'quarrel' becomes 'spat' (spatting is a kind of quarrelling).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'lake' becomes 'L' (geographical abbreviation).
'spat' going around 'l' is 'SPLAT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for splat that I've seen before include "Noise on landing" , "Noise of soft wet impact; part of a chair back" , "Sound of a wet and squishy impact" , "Sound of a soft, wet object striking a surface" , "Piece of wood in a chair back" .)
