Fan of black, crude humour hard to execute in the face of reservations (2,7,4)
I believe the answer is:
go through with
'execute in the face of reservations' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'fan of black crude humour hard' is the wordplay.
'fan of black' becomes 'goth' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'crude' becomes 'rough' (similar in meaning).
'humour' becomes 'wit' (synonyms).
'hard' becomes 'h' (abbreviation used in pencil classifications).
'goth'+'rough'+'wit'+'h'='GO THROUGH WITH'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
