Somehow monks bit on bishop’s prank (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
stink bomb
'prank' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'somehow monks bit on bishop's' is the wordplay.
'somehow' is an anagram indicator.
'on' is an insertion indicator (as in clothing 'on' a person).
'bishop' becomes 'B' (chess abbreviation).
'monks'+'bit'='monksbit'
'monksbit' anagrammed gives 'stinkomb'.
'stinkomb' enclosing 'b' is 'STINK BOMB'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stink bomb that I've seen before include "having been let off in class!" , "Foul-smelling object used by practical jokers" , "Device letting off unpleasant smell when opened - reeking explosive" , "Device containing sulphurous matter traditionally loved by naughty boys" , "Prankster's smelly explosive" .)
