Bit of a mess with the 17 down clue. I think its actually the 14 one, but that's messed up too, mentioning a 20 17 clue. Shorely shome mishtake?

COD 17d

I think Anus has raised the bar slightly - for the better, IMO.

Embee, you’re right about churn - I’ve changed my tune. The Prof gives churns as proper milkers.

Toss is the definition.
Churn is a synonym of toss

Yes, it's RELIEVO meaning "outstanding thing" as in a sculpture that sticks out from a flat surface.

"that is" = IE inside/'gobbled by' an anagram/'bladdered' of LOVER
