Tease Trump about Californian city flipping in important battle site (9)
I believe the answer is:
trafalgar
'tease' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'trump about californian city flipping in important battle site' is the wordplay.
'trump' becomes 'fart' (both can mean flatulence).
'about' says the letters should be written backwards.
'californian city' becomes 'la'.
'flipping' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'in important battle site' becomes 'gar' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'fart' back-to-front is 'traf'.
'la' written backwards gives 'al'.
'traf'+'al'+'gar'='TRAFALGAR'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for trafalgar that I've seen before include "Nelson's eighteen hundred and five victory" , "London Square and Nelson sea-battle" , "Eighteen zero five naval battle" , "Nelson's last battle" , "1805 naval battle" .)
