Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Snarky question used to imply that whatever the previous speaker was describing, the real subject matter at hand is sex: Alternate phrasings include "Is that what you kids are calling it these days?" and "Well, I've never heard it called that before." While not limited to either gender, it does seem to be applied to eager young females most often, usually by older women who may feel threatened by them. It is often mixed with Accidental Innuendo, with the original speaker literally describing a perfectly true, innocent situation, and the asker mistaking it for an innuendo because of how odd it is. This happens in many examples of Truth in Television as well: For example, when Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villaraigosa admitted to having an extramarital affair with a Telemundo reporter who was the Mayor's Office Correspondent for the station, the number of different phrases that "it" could be called expanded into a Hurricane of Euphemisms. ("Covering the mayor's job," "reporting on his affairs," "staying on top of his agenda," "working the beat," etc.) Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })This can extend to non-sexual subjects, if the subject of the remarker's disapproval is clear. (Kangaroo courts, for example — "We will, of course, be giving you a fair trial." "Oh, is that what you call it?") See also Have a Gay Old Time and Double Entendre, not to mention "Blackmail" Is Such an Ugly Wordnote I told you not to mention that. Sister Trope to That's What She Said. Contrast Accidental Innuendo, I Need to Go Iron My Dog. Compare Unusual Euphemism, where they actually are saying something dirty. |

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air: In an episode, Will and Carlton went to a clinic to pick up some reference material for Ashley, who was slamming headfirst into puberty at the time. As the doctor goes to help them, Will and Carlton try to "cover" by loudly announcing that they were looking for material for a book report and checking the building for asbestos, respectively. The doctor later turns to Carlton and says: "Asbestos? Last time I heard, it was called Knockin' Boots!" Not to mention Will's assurance to Carlton that he "won't always be a... German." |

In the High School D×D/Sword Art Online Crossover Highschool SAO, while Rias' Peerage is training for the rating game against Riser Phenex, Kirito tells Asuna they just need to grind (train) like they did against the bosses, and Akeno asks if that's what they do when they are alone. It takes them a while to understand what she means, and when they do it's Luminescent Blush for both of them. | |

Arrested Development: George Michael had been hiding his fugitive grandfather in the attic, but Michael suspected he was having sex with a girlfriend. So when George Michael confessed, we got this bit: Later on Ann refers to sex as Pop-Pop, completely independently. And so does Rita. And so does George Michael himself, following Michael's usage to describe George Sr. in the same sense George Michael had originally intended, subverting the running gag and bringing it full circle. |

Scrubs: Kind of inverted. And played straight in this exchange: And again when Dr. Cox denies sleeping with his ex, saying that they went into an empty patient's room to "talk". Carla asks if that's what the kids are calling it now and informs him that the room really wasn't empty. Jordan kinda gave it away by saying he "Shouldn't talk so fast." and "Maybe I could finish a sentence." |

On one episode of The Love Boat, Gopher and a woman are in a cabin, chasing after a spider and trying to squash it with their shoes. When Doc opens the door to see what all the ruckus is about, Gopher innocently comments, "We're killing spiders." As Doc leaves, he mutters, "I've heard it called a lot of things, but never that." | |

The Order of the Stick: this is Tarquin's reaction when Elan and Haley leave to speak with Durkon in secret, and they use the excuse "give their pet orangutan a bath", which, according to Elan, is more believable than saying that they went back to their room to rest. Tarquin then starts using similar euphemisms (claiming that while he's "a silverback," he can still "bathe an ape,"), which only serves to confuse Elan. And then, having realized how this pretense is getting interpreted and that it's still considered an acceptable excuse, they feign dropping the pretense altogether: |

Interesting example in the Smallville Season 4 episode "Spell", when Jonathan finds a stray bra under the hay in the loft, and Clark blurts out that "it was magic", followed by a sarcastic "I'm sure it was" from Martha. While Lana, Chloe and Lois (under the control of three ancient French witches... and yes, it makes slightly more sense in context) did use sorcery to brainwash the guests at Chloe's birthday party, it was an underwear party, and there was at least one other couple Clark bumped into the next morning who had to bolt with clothes in hand. So the example is both played straight (it really was magic) and subverted (but there was probably lots of sex too, just not directly involving Clark). | |

The end of Lost season 2, with the whole "got caught in a net" thing: following weeks of UST between them, Jack and Kate go out on a mission and spend a night in a jungle, being caught in a net among other things. When Sawyer asks what they were doing out there, all he gets is "got caught in a net" reply and mistakes it for sex euphemism. For the several following episodes he sarcastically refers to sex as "caught in the net", until the "A-Team" goes on another mission, where he sees another net trap in a jungle and realizes there was no double meaning after all. | |

NCIS: Excretion instead of sex: Gibbs encouraged Kate to "stay hydrated", specifically to use her as a distraction when she went to the head. Inverted in another episode, when Ziva doesn't understand what a suspect means when he says someone 'couldn't keep it in his pants.' Tony's explanation involves a tune and some suggestive gesturing. Ziva comes to the conclusion that they're talking about dancing. |

In The Incredible Hercules, Herc uses this line when Namora puts him in an "Atlantean crab hold" during a sparring match. Namora shoots back an Ironic Echo at the end of the same arc, when Hercules suggests using an Olympian eagle strike in combat. | |

A variation occurs in the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Something Smells". After getting bad breath, SpongeBob is led by Patrick to believe that he's ugly, and decides to admit it by shouting "I'm ugly and I'm proud!" repeatedly on the rooftop of his pineapple. | |

In The Age of Innocence, when a character discusses the vices of Count Olenski, he states, "When he wasn't cavorting with women, he was... collecting china. And paying any price for either." A lot of literary analysts took the "china" comment as insinuation that Olenski's lovers included men as well as women — the movie drives it home even further by having the person glance around furtively before making the comment, clearly not wanting to be overheard. | |

Doctor Who: There's a running gag regarding the use of the word "dancing" in "The Doctor Dances". "The Day of the Doctor": The Eleventh Doctor appears through a time portal just as his earlier regeneration is trying to sort out which of two Elizabeth I's is an evil shapeshifting alien. It doesn't help that Eleven knows Ten married Queen Elizabeth I. "The Pyramid at the End of the World": A budding romance gets interrupted by the UN Secretary-General seeking the Twelfth Doctor to handle the latest end-of-the-world crisis. "World Enough and Time": Missy wants to know what the Doctor calls his companions: exposition, comic relief, pets, snacks? |

Blake's 7. At the end of "Sand", the crew rescue Tarrant from a Death World, only to find he was trapped down there with their arch-enemy Servalan (and it's strongly implied they had sex). Tarrant points out her affection was likely just a ploy to gain his sympathy in a dangerous situation. Avon responds sarcastically, "And she got it too, didn't she? Your sympathy, I mean?" | |

One memorable non-sexual example from CSI is an exchange between Sara and Marjorie Wescott, a defense lawyer, after Sara is asked about a previous case where she had been seen touching someone in a "romantic gesture": Let it be known that, in the aforementioned episode, there was no chalk on his face. Really. |

How I Met Your Mother: An example arises not out of snarkery but a genuine misinterpretation/hopefulness on the part of Casanova Wannabe Barney. It was actually a Literal Metaphor (or rather, not any sort of metaphor at all). Another instance is "I'm going to this girl's house and we're going to make juice," to which the cab driver responds "Nice." Marshall even gets to hang a lampshade. |

In Spoony's Campaign, Angry Joe tried to outline a plan to repair the party's reputation with a kingdom that wrongly thought they'd assassinated the king. Said plan involved presenting the head of the actual assassin to the princess, but Joe kept making Innocent Innuendo, for which the others ribbed him mercilessly ("Just because I'm taking a dude up to my room, and showing him my head, doesn't mean..."). When Joe tried to clarify that he would give a severed head, Y: Ruler of Time remarked "Is that what they're calling it now? That's gotta be some sort of new BDSM practice." | |

On Law & Order: UK, while interrogating a teacher about his relationship with their victim, a murdered high school student, the man claims he "was giving her driving lessons". The disbelieving DS Devlin scoffs, saying, "I've heard it called a lot of things, but not that". It turns out the man is telling the truth. What's more, he's gay and therefore had no sexual interest whatsoever in the girl. | |
