A double entendre is a figure of speech or a phrase that can be understood in two different ways, one of which is often more suggestive or risqué than the other. It typically relies on wordplay or ambiguity, allowing the speaker to convey a more innocent meaning while also suggesting an alternative, often humorous or inappropriate interpretation. Double entendres are frequently used in poetry, literature, comedy, and everyday conversation to add layers of meaning or to create humor.
