Refuse to move bowl containing dead fish from outside (3,4,5,2)
I believe the answer is:
dig ones heels in
'refuse to move' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'bowl containing dead fish from outside' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'dead' could be 'gone' (similar in meaning) and 'gone' is located in the answer.
'bowl' could be 'dish' (a bowl is a type of dish) and 'dish' is located in the remaining letters.
'fish' could be 'eels' (eel is a type of fish) and 'eels' is found in the answer.
'from' could be 'in' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'in' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dig ones heels in that I've seen before include "Refuse to be persuaded" , "Be stubborn" .)
