Please could somebody explain why...

18ac is LISP - 'making you sound "stupid" not "unwell"!'

22ac is TRICKERY - 'Funny business that may leave one feeling abused not amused.

Thanks.

18a: with a lisp 'sick' would sound like 'thick'

22: 'funny business' wouldn't leave you amused because funny doesn't mean comical in that phrase but dishonest and so makes you feel abused

...and 'trickery' is synonymous with 'funny business'

Thanks for that. Bibblebub. It doesn't work as a cryptic clue for me, I'm afraid. Neither do 8dn & 14dn either.
