When someone incorporates a double entendre into a seemingly innocent sentence, he or she is said to be “making a double entendre.” Such jokes have been part of human existence probably almost as long as language has, and they show no signs of dying out yet.

Double entendres may also potentially be used in polite conversation by jokesters, who can defend themselves by claiming that the statement was purely innocent, implying that the sexual interpretation is the result of a dirty mind.
