Stand firmly against, do (5)
I believe the answer is:
beano
'do' is the definition.
(they both mean party)
'stand firmly against' is the wordplay.
'stand firmly' becomes 'bea' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'against' becomes 'no'.
'bea'+'no'='BEANO'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for beano that I've seen before include "binge" , "Kids' comic" , "Rowdy jollification" , "rowdy festivity" , "Enjoyable party" .)
