GOOD ONES!
"Floor covering" WAX
"Touchy?" TACTILE
"Pooh pooh-bah" MILNE [but author's are hardly pooh-bahs]
"Grocery section" AISLE
A most clever theme: ITSNOTYOUITSME is the theme indicator wherein the ME in the answer if changed to U makes a new phrase. Mount of Olives, A Boy Named Sue, and Bank fraud are the phrases that could be made by exchanging ME with U.
I don't care for "Old-timey 'not'" for NARY. Nary means "not one." We don't say "you are nary my friend" or "nary if I can help it" or "I will nary go." The final y doesn't make things better because there is no word timey. Still it was a clever puzzle. :)
