Double Entendre - your thoughts?

Question

A lazy attempt at humour? Evidence of depravity and cinicism? A cry for help?

I for one, can appreciate the odd, poingantly placed, dry delivery of a truly outstanding double entendre. However, I increasingly find this comedic tool is overused to the point where a person is continuously delivering nothing more than a vulgar stream of predictably-tepid snippets of verbal sputum, intended to add a sense of culture to their ever-increasing void where once a personality existed.

Sometimes you just have it up to here ^ with it. Ya know?

Thank you for the comments so far.

Perhaps I should clarify since this is 'Psychology'.

What is it about 'double entendre' that creates, what I observe as a psychological dependency and 'overuse' in a person's daily dialogue?

If you don't know anyone who overuses it you won't have a clue what I mean, so it's perfectly fine if you pass over this question.

I knew you wouldn't be able to resist.

Ha! My powers of prediction remain 100% accurate.

The funny thing is - YOU are obviously stalking me!

I do not answer nor care about your questions or answers.

Answer 1

I whole hardily agree. When it was used sparingly or in a well placed jibe the double entendre was priceless. Now, however it seems to be overused and used instead of actually trying to be funny. Especially when talking about Viagra,,it seems the jokes go on for way to too long.

Answer 2

Turn it into a comic situation.

Pretend that what they say only means one thing to you.

For example Someone once told me to jump on the photocopier and print some copies of a document. I looked that person in the eye, then I looked at the photocpoier, then back at that person and said "but won't that break the machine?"

If they are cluey they will get it and laugh. If they aren't well they will look at you like you are an idiot.

This technique is best used by people who are confident and don't give a rat's ar...e what other people think of them

Answer 3

Double Entendre.. I like your French, I like my French too heh heh heh. When you say 'a lazy attempt at humour', could that mean you're on your back then love? Depravity, cynicism? Well, if you're up for it, a wee bit of sadomasochism never hurt anyone, did it? Hahaha. But poor chickie, a cry for help? There are more pleasant ways to get wet.. Nudge nudge.

I am glad to know you for one can appreciate the oddshaped, poignantly placed delivery of a truly outstanding double entendre. Not every girl appreciates girth and length, especially double acts are frightening to some. Though I suppose you're gagging for it, don't overabuse yourself eh, let others have their fun with you too.

When you try to talk dirty though love, in all honesty, it is a bit of a turn-off innit. I know what you mean with 'vulgar stream of ... sputum', but if you want someone to inject a sensational amount of 'culture' to your ever-increasing void, don't depress him with 'dry humour' if you know what I mean. 'Where once a person existed', oh so sad. If you've been dry for a while, you can hark back to what was - or you could look forward to some of the best shags of your life. It's up to yourself, really.

And to your last question: yeah I know. It's annoying when they come in your face isn't it. If it's any consolation to you, I can quite confidently say you'll never have that problem with me. I might like a bit of sexual innuendo every now and then, but you're slapping it on too thickly.

Answer 4

Double entendre is a clever devise used by clever people who have a high command of their language skills.

I realize that people like you who are completely devoid of humor cannot appreciate the subtleties and sophistication of such humor. This type of humor is never directed to you; it is directed only to the sophisticated and those who have an appreciation for linguistic arts.

People who concentrate solely on scientific study and have no time for humor will never appreciate the eloquence of the well-written double entendre. Therefore, in your case, why even bother?
