Dirty Clown
It’s not always easy to describe what you want. The English language may have more words in everyday use than any other language, but corruption and connotation take their toll when using all the various words for dirty.
I didn’t want a sexually indecent clown, I wanted a clown who maybe hadn’t washed since playing out. But what words can you use? Dirty Clown sounds dodgy, as does Mucky Clown. Filthy Clown is positively disgusting. Soiled Clown doesn’t bear thinking about.
So here are some unkempt clowns.
