Posted: 06/09/05 - 08:46 Post subject: I don't sink that word means what you sink it means.
Main Entry: in·nu·en·do
Pronunciation: "in-y&-'wen-(")dO
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural -dos or -does
Etymology: Latin, by nodding, from innuere to nod to, make a sign to, from in- + nuere to nod; akin to Latin nutare to nod -- more at NUMEN
1 a : an oblique allusion : HINT, INSINUATION; especially : a veiled or equivocal reflection on character or reputation b : the use of such allusions <resorting to innuendo>
If you refer to touching a woman's breasts as "thumping the melons" that's innuendo. If you talk about boobs as boobs and there is no euphemistic terminology, that's just information. There is no such thing as BLATANT sexual innuendo. That's an oxymoron.
So if you have a topic that is sexual in nature, it's not by definition innuendo. If you start your threat topic by saying something like "Woman starts her own melon stand" then that's innuendo.
Are we clear??
You're welcome.

If I referred to them as "thumping the melons", I'd get slapped.

I am glad to see that the fact that blatant and innuendo in the same sentence is an oxymoron.
