Quotation, straight from the horse's mouth? (3)
I believe the answer is:
bit
'horse's mouth?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'quotation straight from the' is the wordplay.
'quotation straight' becomes 'bi' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'from' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'the' becomes 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects).
'bi'+'t'='BIT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bit that I've seen before include "Sank teeth in" , "Unspoken" , "Mouthpiece of brindle or tip of drilling tool" , "Took effect - fragment" , "Small piece - used teeth" .)
