I solved all this unaided except for 19d where faced with m?n?t?e, I couldn’t decide if it was manitee, manitoe or similar and just couldn’t get mandate.
I parsed everything else except 8d where I got nuts but the only dis I could think off was the street argot of “He dissed me” meaning “He disrespected me” rather forgetting that respect is earned not imposed.
Thanks Crux and thanks Sil.
