suggestive joke
Wink-wink comedy bit
A suggestive joke implies something sexual or indecent without stating it directly, relying on double meanings or innuendo: He made a suggestive joke about her "assets".
The humor depends on the listener catching the implication.
Suggestive jokes occupy middle ground between clean humor and outright dirty jokes—risqué but deniable.
