I enjoyed solving this one as always, and will simply echo the words in your preamble.

That ratel has got a bit of a ‘don’t mess with me’ look about him, though.

Forgive me if I am stating what you already know, but your difficulty with Aurelio might be that you did not recall that there is a crossword convention – albeit a tired one – that any male given name may be clued as ‘boy’ (or ‘girl’ on the other side). Curiously, another Google hit on the name gives Oriel as a variant on Aurelio, although it seems that this has nothing to do with the origin of the Oxford College name.

As to the definition, which is presumably what irks Davy, there is certainly a tradition of defining names, particularly in subsidiary indication, as ‘boys’, though normally this is used for shortened forms (like BOB or PETE).

But what you can’t argue with, I suppose, is that out there right now are many thousands of Spanish boys (and men) called Aurelio.

I found this a little tougher than usual and have a question for you concerning aurelio which was my last answer
and just sounded right. I could’t find any applicable reference to aurelio on Google and if one translates boy into
Spanish, it returns ‘el niño’. The Spanish dictionary also doesn’t recognise aurelio as a valid word so where does
this word come from ?.

As to the puzzle, I particularly liked CLUB SANDWICH and WHIPPPET. Thanks Everyman.
