[[folder: Common Accidental Innuendos ]]

* '''Comments relating to size''': Since there's cultural ideas about both the size of breasts and penises (see BuxomBeautyStandard, BiggerIsBetterInBed, TeenyWeenie, ACupAngst, GagPenis, and DCupDistress), some people will take ''any'' size-related comment (for example "it's small", "it's huge", "they're too small", etc) as a dirty joke. However, size ''is'' an important thing sometimes, and people ''do'' get impressed by things which are unusually big or small, so sometimes this is hard to avoid.
* '''Objects that look remotely like body parts''': Some people think that pretty much anything longer than it is thick looks phallic, especially if it has a rounded tip and/or anything on the end that could remotely look like balls. Two round things next to each other might also be taken as looking like breasts, a butt, or balls. However, ''many'' things are round or longer than they are thick, so it's rather common to get an unintentional version of the trope SomethingElseAlsoRises.
* '''Words with double meanings''': Some words ("gay", "queer", "faggot", "ejaculate", "molest") [[HaveAGayOldTime initially had an innocuous meaning but developed a naughty meaning that became a lot more common.]] Others ("arouse", "wet", "hard", "wiener", "erect") have an innocuous meaning that's ''as'' common as the naughty meaning but too easy to make sound dirty. Then, there's also names ("[[ADickInName Dick]]", "Willy", "Fanny", "Wang", "Johnson") that have double meanings. In some cases (such as "Wang" mentioned above") this is due to the name being from a different language. Sometimes, the naughty meaning of a word is [[SeparatedByACommonLanguage more or less common in different places]] (for example, in some places "fag" is nearly always short for "faggot", but in other places, it's slang for "cigarette").
* '''Words that only''' '''''sound''''' '''like something naughty''': Often used for intentional innuendo, but is also often accidental. Famous examples are "masticate" (a relatively unusual word for "chew" that is famous for sounding like "masturbate") and "[[UranusIsShowing Uranus]]". Sometimes, this trouble arises from words that simply rhyme or alliterate with naughty words. It's also common with nonsense words, especially if they are verbs that come before a pronoun/name or nouns that come after a pronoun/name (for example, if Alice says, "Bob zeeped my blorp", people might see that as dirty, even if the writers only meant it to mean "Bob [[FightForTheLastBite took my last cookie]]").
* '''Phrases that sound like sex acts''': Common are [[Lol69 the number 69]], and talk about "getting off", "being inside someone" or "pulling out".
* '''Someone who just happens to awkwardly look like they're doing something sexual''': Holding a hand or an object too near one's junk can result in what is basically an out-of-universe version of MistakenForMasturbating. However, this is usually not taken as dirty if there's a clear reason for it (for example, they're doing the PottyDance or [[HandOrObjectUnderwear covering themselves up due to being naked]]). It's also common for a SuggestiveCollision to only come off as suggestive unintentionally. Moaning, heavy breathing, and certain facial expressions can often come off as looking like an orgasm too, [[DoubleStandard which seems to be more common if it's a woman]].
* '''Any of the above if something else awkward is happening''': Generally, people are more likely to have their minds in the gutter if the person onscreen/on-page/whatever is talking to or about someone they're attracted to or who's attracted to them or who [[{{Shipping}} the audience ships them with]] or who is genuinely a bit lustful, or is naked or near a naked person or a combination.
