Oblique remark (8)

I believe the answer is:

innuendo

'oblique remark' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for innuendo that I've seen before include "Slur" , "Naughty suggestion" , "Suggestiveness" , "Disparaging oblique remark" , "Malicious insinuation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and the Sydney Morning Herald.
