A double entendre is when you say something that can mean EITHER two of the following things: EXACTLY what itself says OR what it means SEXUALLY. For example, on an episode of "Family Guy", Peter buys a red car with a long engine and hood and pulls up to this guy next to him and says, "Is it in yet?" Later, he drives under a bridge, then backs up, then goes under it again, and then backs up again, and continues doing the same thing until a semi coming from under the bridge runs into the car and smashes the engine and hood of the car. Finally, a busload of supermodels comes from under the bridge, sees Peter's car, and laughs at him and then Peter says, "Ow, my pride."

I think you mean double entendre. Entendre is a French verb that means "to hear". A double entendre is a word or phrase that has two meanings, the second meaning usually being some sexual joke.
Example: A pretty woman enters an elevator - she asks a fellow male passenger "Is this elevator going up?" and the guy replies "No, it's going down - I'd love to go down with you". Or something along those lines.

Do you mean double entendre? This is a phrase that can be taken to mean two different things.

Something that has two meanings. French verb entendre= to hear. So an expression or word can have two ways of interpreting (hearing) it.
