Insinuation, implication (8)
I believe the answer is:
innuendo
I believe this is a double definition.
'insinuation' is the first definition.
(I know that insinuation can be written as innuendo)
'implication' is the second definition.
(I know that innuendo is a type of implication)
(Other definitions for innuendo that I've seen before include "sneaky reference" , "Implied smut" , "Undone in unpleasant insinuation" , "Subtle disparagement" , "nudge nudge)" .)
