Water music apt for this routine? (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
tap dance
'apt for this routine?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'water music' is the wordplay.
'water' becomes 'tap water' (tap water is a kind of water).
'music' becomes 'dance' (dance music is a kind of music).
'tap'+'dance'='TAP-DANCE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tap dance that I've seen before include "Move rhythmically (for joy?) wearing special shoes" , "Steel-toecapped entertainment" , "moving performance" , "Entertainment needing special shoes" , "Noisy entertainment" .)
