What does this word mean?

Question

Sounds like inuwindows? I don't get it...

Answer 1

Maybe "innuendo", it means that something is implied, its meaning comes indirectly. For example if you say a guy is popular with the ladies you might be implying that he is a serial romancer.

Answer 2

The word you are thinking about is innuendo. Innuendos is the plural of innuendo.

Here is the definition: an indirect (and usually malicious) implication. Some modern examples of innuendo include sexual references to human body parts. For example, a woman might attempt to purchase some groceries and a man might say, "Boy, those are some nice melons you have there." This statement implies that he was referring to the woman's breasts.

When innuendo is used in a sentence, it could go completely undetected by someone who was not familiar with the hidden meaning, and he or she would find nothing odd about the sentence. Perhaps because innuendo is not considered offensive to those who do not "get" the hidden implication, it is often used in sitcoms and other comedy which would otherwise be considered unsuitable for children. Children would find this comedy funny, but because most children lack understanding of the hidden implication in innuendo, they would find it funny for a completely different reason from most adult viewers.

Answer 3

I think you mean innuendo, it means to imply something more than what is being said, usually with subtlety, so that it can be missed by the recipient if they are not paying attention to be quick enough to grasp it.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Innuendos ? Allusions or veiled comments.
