Words that mean more than their definition...

[Tezur]

How hard could it be to truly define certain words? I'm guessing by tons. A literal meaning of some adjectives does not really trump a common meaning most of the time. Maybe I'm not explaining clearly. Here's an example:

How do you like your eggs?

It could be eggs like you cook with, or something sexual. This is just a basic reference, and it's really hard to point out. What I'm asking is, have you ever heard a sentence that has multiple meanings?  

[Amphion]

Sure. It's called a double entendre, and they're everywhere. Shakespeare's full of them, just look at Much Ado About Nothing.

Indeed I have! I've read an article that is sticked on our school's notice board. It pointed out that English is the craziest language ever!

I'm not sure if you guys have ever heard of this but, it is an example to the question you asked (I don't remember the EXACT wordings, so I'll just put it in my own wordings):

Lady: "Will ever you give me a ring?"
Man: "Of course, darling!"
-Later that night... The man called to the lady's house-
Man: "Well, you asked me if I'd ever give you a ring, so I thought I would ring you up!"

Story: It is obvious that the man misunderstood the term "ring" that the lady used. The lady meant to ask if the man will ever give her a ring as in a ring that you wear on the finger. The man thought she meant if he would ever ring her up as in calling her on the phone.

It's hard to live with the English language and never run into sentences or words that imply other things. One word I've often found is 'gay', it used to mean 'happy' but nowadays it means 'homosexual' so everyone laughs when they hear it...like in the song 'I'm So Pretty'. 'I'm so pretty, and witty, and gay!' sweatdrop

Muck like the term 'f**' is the french word for cigerette.

As is it the abbreviation in German for bassoon. In German, f*****t means "bundle of sticks", and evidently that's what they thought the bassoon looks like...

Earlier today my friend and I were talking about the tunnels that little kids play in, like the McDonald's Play Place and local places like Tumbledrum and the City Museum. When we got to ball pits, we both said we definitely wouldn't go in them, and didn't even as kids. At which point my friend said:

"Balls are more of a boy thing, anyway."

Maybe a little more crude and blatant, but it was something she said without the second meaning even occuring to her until I chuckled.
