[Moulinsart]

Polish side-switching is repellent (5). I have GROSS but not sure why?

Also, like others here, I can only find five of the six 'bottom' solutions 'not further defined' in the rubric: Nates, Bahookie, Tush, Rear and Rump. What is the sixth?

Thank you.

[scorpiojo]

Gloss, with L changed to R

I only have 5

[grasscarp]

polish is gloss switch the l left to r right

[Mamyalynne]

Gloss (polish) - change left to right - Gross

[Lie-in King]

Gross (repellent) - from 'gLoss' (polish) change 'l(eft)' to 'r(ight)'

I could only see 5 as well, I guess it's an error or they're including 5a?

[Mamyalynne]

Only 5 here too.

[Moulinsart]

Of course. Thanks scorpiojo.

[dannyk13]

Gross - gloss(polish) with r for l

[scorpiojo]

You're welcome. Thank you.

Late in the day, I know, but is 22d gloss or gross? The definition part of clue could easily be either polish OR repellent.

[Mamyalynne]

Gross

Polish side switching is the wordplay.

[Cryptomaniac]

Thanks, yes Mamya - that makes much more sense as the clue reads.
