@@izzaacalley "Double entendre'' Its French and it essentially means that what @cryofpaine said means her presence alone was enough make people have to listen twice

[@izzaacalley]

@@XxEmortalWarriorxX double entendre means that a word has more than one interpretation. Such as "cat person". usually that means that the person likes cats but it could also mean that they are a person who IS a cat. And yes the word comes from french as is 75% of the english language. In this case it would be used because matt is describing an object that is not necessarily supposed to be inappropriate, however everyone immediately interpreted it that way.
