Bang in the middle of lifeless moderates? (4,6)
I believe the answer is:
dead centre
'bang in' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'middle of lifeless moderates?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'middle' could be 'centre' (synonyms) and 'centre' is located in the answer.
'lifeless' could be 'dead' (synonyms) and 'dead' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dead centre that I've seen before include "heart" , "Smack in the middle" , "cemetery?" , "bullseye" , "Right in the middle" .)
