I have 2 remaining, which I cannot work out.

26A. Sweet Rosie's cut short English in old Scottish exam (6, 2 words)
I have ??R?DE

6D. Sweet wine Jock's beloved imbibes before pork (8)
I think I have JERE?IG?
I'm not sure of this. I think it should be JEROPIGA, but I have E from 16A rather than O.
[16A. Female prisoner, unruly teen put inside directly (7) yields DETENUE = anagram of TEEN in DUE for direct]

Any help with parsing would be appreciated.

26a possibly O-Grade
6 jerepigo sweet fortified wine
Film/song Sweet Rosie O'Grady (cut short = OGRAD) + E(nglish) = O-Grade "the O-Grade was the bedrock of the Scottish educational system for many years"
Can someone help with my last one? 18d Pronounces oriental soup 'bum' (8) I have PHI?ATES. Thank you.
depresion - I have Phonates (pronounces) but can't parse the rest

I think 24a = Bog Latin (the jargon of tinkers) and not Pig Latin, but again I can't properly parse that either. I have 24d beginning with a B.

I am not having a very good day!
pho = viet nam soup + nates (backside/bum)
24a Bog Latin (a form of argot) = anagram/rubbished of " a + glot (semi polyglot) + bin (binned)
Thanks Roslyn!
a + glot (half of polyglot) inside bin
Vietnamese soup 'pho'
Buttocks 'nates'
24 d- buzzer is a BEE and each is PER = horn (I think!)
