8d. agree with Chris.

17a. Defn Hot as in trendy. Rage (emotional intensity), all (in total)

Thank you both. Not convinced that ‘oaf’ equates to ‘barbarian’ and the construction of 17a seems wonky, ‘emotional intensity in total’ suggests that the ‘rage’ should be before the total, or perhaps inside it, and ‘the’ in the answer isn’t accounted for.

The BRB has BARBARIAN as "someone without taste or refinement, a somewhat uncivilized person" so OAF seems perfectly reasonable.
