However 1950s BBC radio was full of double entres that the higher up management didn't understand. Round The Horn in particular.

- dcminter 5y agoI adore the wordplay in RtH. On a similar note, however, a colleague tried to shock me (he thought I was more straightlaiced than I am) by asking if I'd heard Cardi B's WAP. I took great pleasure in retaliating with the song "My Girl's Pussy" from 1931 which is what you might call a great deal of entendre without very much double.
- jimmytidey 5y agoThanks - not heard this before! Impossible to imagine how this could go over people's heads. Says something about how narrow many people's cultural horizons were in the 1930s I guess. According my parent's retelling of the RtH story, the humour is a result of posh people (who get to make BBC comedy) being exposed to working class while serving in WW2, although there is obviously gay subculture in there too.
