I was only stumped by 6D (having never heard of "to slew" = "to twist" ... new one on me) and 22, which annoys me, as I kept thinking "scar...i...fier" but never actually believed it was a word enough to bother looking it up. Dammit. Very enjoyable. 15A was a brilliant standout for me, and I enjoyed the construction of 19A.

'Bus' from 'omnibus' comes to my mind. And there is 'tec', which I think is 'detective' with both head and tail cut off!
