Speech in Cats? Tipsy, forgetting lines in middle (4)
I believe the answer is:
meow
'speech in cats? tipsy' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'forgetting lines in middle' is the wordplay.
'forgetting' becomes 'me' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'lines' becomes 'bows' (bow is a kind of line).
'in middle' means to look at the middle letters.
The middle of 'bows' is 'ow'.
'me'+'ow'='MEOW'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for meow that I've seen before include "Beastly noise" , "Cat's cry" , "Catty remark" , "Cry of a cat" , "Crying sound of an animal" .)
