I felt compelled to voice my appreciation for the double-entendre of this title.
- umvi 6y agoI would say the title is just using a plain old pun... "double entendre" usually implies there is a way to sexually interpret the phrase
- mikeg8 6y agoBald eagle can also refer to a woman’s shaved... aka Brazilian
- dcanelhas 6y agoOh, I didn't know that! I thought the expression simply meant double understanding/meaning.
- everly 6y agoHuh, I also thought that and was surprised to learn this. I'm curious how many people assume the same, as it seems to have become descriptively defined as any wordplay based on a dual-meaning. Typically, I'm a fan of nuanced definitions because it makes language more useful but, in this case, I'll probably keep using it the same way because I don't feel that the sexual requirement adds much value. 'Pun' probably works in most cases but not all puns are double-meaning and puns also have a cornier/less clever connotation IME.
