Need a clue for 21 ac. S***. Cant see for looking

Definition is fly - a homophone

It's always better to give the clue.

Soar, fly - sounds like sore, red.

Sorry, Barny, I was so busy muttering to myself about you not giving the clue, I didn't take in that you wanted 'a clue'.

Hi everybody
Back home with all my help at hand to solve this week's puzzle. Thank you for the help with 23, 1, 5d. Once I got that, it was mostly plain sailing. Three I can't quite parse18ac High -evidently drunk? Where does the high come in?
2d Scale a scale, short of the bitter (6)

7d Sensitive skin of tiger, unpleasant (6)

And a fourth 17d one on top of an elephant, pig climbing off (6)

I have answers fo them all but am not sure why they are right. Actually I did parse 7d OK.

Thanks for all your help while I was in USA.
