What produces comment? Love amongst blokes can (7)
I believe the answer is:
mention
'what produces comment?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'love amongst blokes can' is the wordplay.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'amongst' is an insertion indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'blokes' becomes 'men' (bloke can informally mean a man).
'can' becomes 'tin' (both are metal containers).
'men'+'tin'='mentin'
'o' going into 'mentin' is 'MENTION'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mention that I've seen before include "Speak of - refer to" , "state" , "Acknowledge" , "Passing reference" , "Make reference to" .)
