All complete except the unclued trio.

I have -HE-E- and A-R-S- and -I-G, but correct answer might not be in that order.

Can someone kindly give me a hint?

Thanks in advance.

39a/29d/26d go together in that order. 14d/12d go together in that order. A hint for 40 across please.

40 A is a word new to me. It's a shortened version of an eight-letter word meaning 'cheers', 'salut' etc.

Thanks AlwaysPuzzled - I had 12 paired with 37 - a forgiveable mistake!

Alwayspuzzled, glad I could help. Everyone's vocabulary is different - for all I knew, loads of people could be using that word on a daily basis!

Hi always puzzled. I don't understand your 39a/29d/26d. Could you kindly clarify. This is all I need to complete!
