FUN FACT:
A double-entendre (uh-TUHN-dre) is a phrase or
figure of speech that could have two meanings or that
could be understood in two different ways.
Double-entendres, when used intentionally, can be fun
and entertaining because the idea is to get a laugh
both from people in the know and from people who do
not get the second meaning.
