obscene

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dirty' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'profession jack going on location' is the wordplay.
'profession jack' becomes 'ob' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'going on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'location' becomes 'scene' (scene can mean a location or area).
'ob'+'scene'='OBSCENE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for obscene that I've seen before include "not decent" , "Lewd - offensive" , "coarse!" , "One's CBE (anag)" , "Rude" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
