Actually, a &quot;synonym&quot; means another word with the same meaning.
Like 'good' is a synonym of 'nice'.
A &quot;double entendre&quot; means that word has double meaning.
Like &quot;welcome&quot; can mean &quot;welcome to my house&quot; or &quot;appreciate your thanks&quot;.

&gt;<i> Or in other words: Sometimes we must interpret
</I>&gt;<i> meanings, not words.
</I>
But I know your &quot;meaning&quot;, not the &quot;words&quot; you use.  :)
