Two I couldn't work out -
32a = pantihose - why "floozies"?
22d = mopani - how does "i" fit in?
I originally had "mopane", which seems to fit better - this threw me trying to work out 32a.
Explanation apprciated.

Thanks for replies - I'm happy now with "mopani", but in 32a how does "whores" equate with "hos" ??

K is correct with his interpretation of the clue. Ho is the African/American version of whore. I cannot find this definition in Chambers but it is here:http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Ho
