Innuendo },
{
Insinuation }.
Usage :
An innuendo is an equivocal allusion so framed as to point distinctly at something which is injurious to the character or reputation of the person referred to .
An insinuation turns on no such double use of language ,
but consists in artfully winding into the mind imputations of an injurious nature without making any direct charge .

1913 Webster ]

The innuendo is mostly used in actions for slander .
An innuendo ,
as , "
he the said plaintiff meaning ,"
is only explanatory of some matter expressed ;
it serves to apply the slander to the precedent matter ,
but cannot add or enlarge ,
extend ,
or change the sense of the previous words ,
and the matter to which it alludes must always appear from the antecedent parts of the declaration or indictment .
