Damning with faint praise: “He’s pretty smart, for a fourth-grader.” Also known as a backhanded compliment (which in this case is presumably delivered by an older student).Rumors, gossip, and slander: “It’s 5 o’clock somewhere, but for you it might be noon.” This might imply that someone is an alcoholic, which is usually a negative rumor.Tension and suspense: “Will they, won’t they?” Whether two characters are about to flirt or fight, a story can drop suggestions to their behavior to create tension before the climax.Here are some common turns of phrase that can be considered innuendo: It adds a further layer that enhances the statement and comprises a joke that not everyone may get. Innuendo can take on many forms to add humor to a conversation, imply a hidden meaning, or to create suspense in a story. Innuendo can be found in many forms, including metaphor, allusion, and symbolism. Innuendo can add depth and complexity to a text, making it more engaging for readers.
