How to use "Innuendo" in context?
Innuendo is a way of suggesting something without actually saying it. It's a type of verbal shorthand that often implies sexual interest or intent. For example, you might say that your friend "looked mightily displeased" when she received a gift that was not exactly what she had wished for. Innuendo can be a powerful tool for teasing and making fun of friends, but it can also be used in more serious situations, such as when a politician is trying to suggest that her opponent is corrupt.
