| adianoeta |
| Definition - A word or phrase that has an obvious meaning, but that also has an additional, less-well-known — perhaps esoteric — meaning. |
|
Example - It's an extremely hot summer day. A young man walking down a searing downtown sidewalk passes a very attractive woman dressed in a skin-tight, full-length black dress. Him to her: You look hot in that outfit. Her: I am hot. Him (hoping it's adianoeta): I'm hot, too. Her (it's not): You should go home and put on some cut-offs. |
|
Etymology - The word means "unintelligible" in Greek. |
