The original poster of this one "insulted himself/herself". I'm not sure if it's allowed. Can you tell me? A super smart rebus

Q: Missing words? In *my* crossword?

Some clues are missing one of four different five-letter words, marked A, B, C and D. The missing words are included in the grid as the unclued entries 16a, 35a, 22d and 23d, not necessarily in that order. Find the missing words and fill the grid. Across 1. Performs surveillance with zero second...

25D was very nice

@jafe The definition is, of course, "used-up", and the word is B(IOPAN*)NI*, from the Italian, literally "moldy bread", from bio, "alive", and panni, "breads".

(just to be clear, biopanni is not the intended solution)
