The difference between a pun and an innuendo
There seems to be a lot of confusion between a pun and innuendo. I admit that, for some, it may be a subtle bridge too far but I hope to make the difference clear and bring order to QOTW.
A pun is a form of word play that deliberately exploits ambiguity between similar-sounding words for humorous or rhetorical effect. However, innuendo is an Italian suppository.
