Developer: "So, you're trying to work on some sort of double entendre?"
UIM: "I'm not even sure it has a single entendre."
Developer: "Well, by default, any word has at least one entendre."
UIM: "I don't know. Nobody seems to ever understand anything I say, so it’s possible there is no entendre."
Developer: "But any word has at least one meaning."
UIM: "I'm sure if you talk with service, they'll provide customer utterances completely devoid of meaning."
Developer: "Non-tendres."
UIM: "Sans-tendres."
