I got it. Forgot Sex Appeal,

Sunray, you seem to have missed out the IT for 'sex appeal'. The full word is 9 letters.

Crossed !

Thank you muraria.

I have not figured out X and Y yet. But I have 1A meaning tart. When you do replace it with X and Y, do the new words remain actual words?


Also need help with two Scottish word.
20A. Duniwassal perhaps taxes mother before November.

36. Scots dislike the other hotel south of US city

Thanks.

I too need help with the Scottish clues requested by Sunray, if you could please...

Sunray, forget the X and Y for now. Look at Shellraine's advice to me earlier...

20d is Scotsman and the first 4 letters go in the 20 cell. Scots (taxes) ma n.
36 is Laith: LA it h and the th both go in last cell.

Thanks Shellraine.

Does the other mean it?

I tried to look up Laith in Glosbe.com and The Dictionary of Gael.
Both do not show it.
So without your help, could not have found this word.

Hi Sunray

Yes, 'the other', 'it' both euphemisms for you know what....

You're welcome Sunray. I ended up investing in Chambers early in my Inquisitor career on the advice of the 'old hands'!
