OP Hello,
So I need help to settle something once and for all.
Over the holidays a friend and myself casually started a conversation about the meaning of Double Entendre and one of us compared it to Euphemism and so the Holiday Debate of 2011 began. It is still raging on to say the least and I find myself not wanting to give up my argument.
Here's the dealy-o, One say Double Entendre is NOT the same as Euphemism or even related to the same idea. The other says they are related and are similar if not the same.
The one claims they are similar because Euphemism is in the "see also" section of Double Entendre Wikipedia page.
Also there's this:
http://www.amazon.com/Double-Entendre-Daily-euphemistic-calendar/dp/1456551426
So if anyone is interested in shedding some light on this it would be greatly appreciated. I didn't mentioned who thought what to avoid any bias.
So Thank you in advance and can't wait to hear your answers.
