Jokes that are anything but clean? (5,6)
I believe the answer is:
black humour
'are anything but clean?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'jokes' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'jokes' could be 'humour' (I've seen this before) and 'humour' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'black' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'that' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
