Toy with giving Hitchcock film a miss (8-4)
I believe the answer is:
skipping-rope
'toy' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'giving hitchcock film a miss' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'film' could be 'rope' (I've seen this before) and 'rope' is located in the answer.
'miss' could be 'skip' (to skip something is to miss it out) and 'skip' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ping' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for skipping-rope that I've seen before include "It is swung over head and under foot" , "Cord (used by playing children)" , "Cord with handles for jumping over" , "Cord that's twirled and jumped" .)
