OP Good work, tsuwm! Yes, that does seem to be it. And adianoeta is apparently just another word for double entendre. Why didn't I see that from the beginning?
Reminds me of a scene from the 60's Batman show when Robin says, "Of course! It was too simple even for the Bat-Computer to figure out!"
Oh, well. At least we've all got a couple of new words here. Perhaps the most specific way to describe what I want is "antiphrastic adianoeta."
Thanks!
