Thanks Joker. Wordplay could be 'a bod' around 'r'. That makes 14a 'far-out' which is 'amazing', but I can't work out the wordplay.

Farout working...How about (F)ool (AROU)nd ba(T) backed off?...Or perhaps Fool = OAF leaving RUT but I cant figure out where Bat comes into it!

wordplay is fart about without tab (bat backed off - ie. reversed and then removed.)

Bear in mind that some compilers are obsessed with the human backside, lavatories and allied functions; they can be quite adolescent in that repect.
