"Double entendre"

 

[Speedito]

What comes to my mind is a "double entendre". It's French, but it's what we'd say in the States.

También puedes usar la palabra pun

But "pun" is more general, whereas I think "doble sentido" usually has a sexual meaning, right? And aren't necessarily puns (puns are words that sound similar, whereas "doble sentido" can just be words that have other meanings [like "chile"...]).

Sandpiperlily, "doble sentido" no necesariamente se refiere a algo con connotación sexual, puede ser pero no absolutamente.

Mi intención no fue que usara pun en la misma frase sugerida, sino explicar que en inglés suele usarse de la misma forma que en español se usa doble sentido o albur.

 

[aurilla]

Es "double entendre"
1 : ambiguity of meaning arising from language that lends itself to more than one interpretation
2 : a word or expression capable of two interpretations with one usually risqué

 

[St. Nick]

Words with double meanings.
Words that have double meanings.

 

[Rivendell]

I have always used "double meaning".
