This is probably wrong, but could #38 be blitz?  Doing that to the kicker would certainly be an unorthodox move in football.  I'm less sure about its culinary use.  I don't know if you do that to batter, but you can make it into a [blintz], which looks very similar...

ETA: LOL at Tamago's last answer.

Eugh, would never have gotten that.  Don't know a thing about ice hockey. 

#39, though, is race.

#40

Nothing to do with hockey... You ice the kicker in an American football game.

I can't find it in Wiktionary, either of my unabridged dictionaries, or on Urban Dictionary.  I had to Google "ice kicker" to find Wikipedia's mention of it in the article on time-outs.  Someone should write to the dictionaries and let them know they're wrong. 

Satyr, darling, I am stumped. If Gimli son of Gloin was a duelist, I would know the word, but alas, alas. We are not dealing with an ax with the standard duelist.

v Ohhhhhhhhh. If that's it, it was so simple. Hindsight = 20/20.

It certainly is!  I was just going to expand the verse to include two more definitions of that word when you stepped in, Mylene   Anything wrong with the cluing?

I'm coming up blank, so someone else go ahead.

Mmm, that one's nicely framed!  Degree!

#42
A place in the river you wade right on through;
A name that (with Prefect) evokes 42.

Actually, I was thinking grade, but that one works just as well!

Wow, awesome -- two completely legitimate answers!

You've got 42!    The reference is to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which prominently features both the number 42 and the character of Ford Prefect.

#43. Corruption?

#44. A burly animal, but doesn't that also mean to endure or tolerate?

Correctamundo!

#44. sounds like Mule to me.

I seem to be better at posting questions than answers.

#45 sounds like Bugs to me.

#46:
The description makes you feel like you were there,
also the colours are so bright it's hard to bare.

#46 is probably vivid.
In #45, I get the sense the inside joke is from Utena.  Those objects are part of Shadow Girl skits, cocktower bedroom dialogues, or both.  But I can't get past that...
