Double entendre maybe, but not a pun, surely?

The baby, the swallows, or the fly?

@Kewpie yes, it’s definitely a double entendre, but I would suggest the phrase is also a pun (the humorous use of a word or phrase so as to emphasize or suggest its different meanings) with “baby”, “swallows” and “fly” all having alternative meanings.


News headline:

“Smashing sale at Pianoman’s vinyl shop. All records broken!”

Double entendre as well as a pun?


Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
