It is about a boy (Finbarr) who is always listening in on conversations (often between his divorced mother and their neighbour, Mr.

 Double entendre
For example, an aspiring comedian may, when ordering a drink at a bar, say "Mine's a large one." The innocent meaning is that his usual drink is served in a large measure, while the hidden meaning implies that he has a large penis.
There is a cartoon strip in the English comic book Viz entitled Finbarr Saunders and his Double Entendres, about a youngster who enjoys this form of joke.
When Finbarr detects a double entendre, the cartoonist renders his sniggers as "Fnarr fnarr!", a usage that has entered English slang.

For example, consider the sentence "If a woman asks a man for an example of double entendre, he should always try to give it to her." This double meaning has the innocent meaning to give her the example, and the second sexual meaning intending for the man to try and have sex with her.
In the English comic book Viz there runs a cartoon strip entitled "Finbarr Saunders and his Double Entendres", about a youngster who enjoys double entendres.
Similarly, the cartoon characters Beavis and Butthead frequently note double entrendres of the most sophomoric kind with such comments as, "huh-huh, he said wood; huh-huh".

Roger Mellie (the Man on the Telly) was always one of my favourite strips, along with Finbarr Saunders (and his double entendres) and the Fat Slags.
Finbarr Saunders and his Double Entendres was certainly a classic, salmacis.

 News: Astounding Leisure Suit Larry screens and footage!
With all the comic sophistication of a Terry and June episode and the kind of sexual innuendo that Robin Asquith himself would find beneath him, the series began waaaay back in '87; let's hope this new outing has some rather fresher gags.
The new title, Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude - which in itself is a rather dubious example of the double entendre at work - is in development with High Voltage Software, and Vivendi Universal plans to unleash this Finbarr Saunders-style exercise in puerility on PC, PS2 and Xbox before the end of the year.
The game features Larry's nephew, Larry Lovage, in a title that aims to replicate the experience of gross-out US movies like American Pie.
