I didn't hear that.

(I missed QI the other night.)

"double entendre" literally means "double heard".

'The phrase "double entendre", although taken from the French, is no longer part of the French language. Instead, they would say "double sens" or "double entente" ("double meaning").' (From www.qi.com Forum)

'we often impute sauciness to the French where none is intended ... even ooh la la! (that touchstone of Gallic naughtiness) has no such connotations in France, when it might be used as "Crikey, that was a close shave" (accompanied by a sharp intake of breath and a downward flicking of the hand).'
