The Demi-Entendre collection
The collection currently contains 78 demi-entendres, taken from commercials, news, sports, books, casual conversations... just about anywhere you can imagine.
We don't want to embarrass anyone, so we only list sources using general wording. And we don't have sources for all of them—but every single one is genuine.
Enjoy it! And remember to send in any demi-entendres that you come across.

The Demi-entendre site is brought to you by David A. Black and Barbara A. Black, a son and mother team of word-play devotees who started noticing these usages several years ago and applied the term "demi-entendre" to them. The site is maintained by David. We get the demi-entendres from each other, relatives, friends... whoever wants to contribute one!
