Monthly Club Special 20,218: Rogan’s Profanisaurus

Cripes, there were some rude looking words in this month’s grid, such that I was afraid to look a few of them up for fear of what I might find. The usual tough and satisfying cryptic workout though, with hardly any vocabulary, apart from 21dn, being found anywhere within a mile of everyday parlance. Excellent work setter!
