Double entendre-intiendes

Dear Mouse, The lawyer of the brandy manufacturer should understand the meaning of double entendre. 1 : ambiguity of meaning arising from language that lends itself to more than one interpretation 2 : a word or expression capable of two interpretations with one usually risqué Ano kaya ang feeling niya kung itali siya sa puno pagkatapos maglalagay ng sign para mabasa ng mga langgam, nakatikim na ba kayo ng abugadong nagmamaangmaangan na ang hangad talaga ng mga admakers ay makuha ang atensiyon ng mga makakapagbasa ng advertisement na iyon.
