Since when has a Double Entendre been a joke?

Here is the definition for you -

A double entendre (French pronunciation: [dublɑ̃tɑ̃dʁə]) or adianoeta[1] is a figure of speech in which a spoken phrase is devised to be understood in either of two ways. Often the first (more obvious) meaning is straightforward, while the second meaning is less so: often risqué or ironic.

The Oxford English Dictionary defines a double entendre as especially being used to "convey an indelicate meaning". It is often used to express potentially offensive opinions without the risks of explicitly doing so.

A double entendre may exploit puns to convey the second meaning. Double entendres tend to rely more on multiple meanings of words, or different interpretations of the same primary meaning; they often exploit ambiguity and may be used to introduce it deliberately in a text. Sometimes using a homophone (i.e. a different spelling that yields the same pronunciation) can sometimes be used as a pun as well as a "double entendre" of the subject.

I'm terribly sorry, I used the comic device of Sean Connery (dedicated to whom is the long running joke thread here) to express my opinion that the original poster of the thread was acting in a manner that led me to believe that they were a moron.

I hope this clears it up.

So do you think it is appropriate for you in your elevated position as a Moderator to call a member with a geniune question a moron?

Says more about you than him .

Now waiting for the sin bin.
