Strike and then hide over here with bohemian types (8)
I believe the answer is:
beatniks
'here with bohemian types' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'strike and then hide over' is the wordplay.
'strike' becomes 'beat' (I've seen this before).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'then hide' becomes 'skin' (a hide is an animal skin. I am not sure about the 'then' bit.).
'over' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'skin' back-to-front is 'niks'.
'beat'+'niks'='BEATNIKS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for beatniks that I've seen before include "Unconventional youngsters" , "Nonconformist youths in the '50s and '60s" , "Nonconformist youths in the 1950s and early 1960s" , "Sink a bet about the old dropouts" , "Hippies," .)
