To take a [[Innocent Innuendo|perfectly innocent phrase]] [[That Came Out Wrong]] said by one person and then irk that person by [[Double Entendre|turning it into an innuendo]]. It's also interesting to note that it pretty specifically kept to what ''she'' said with its uses leaning towards things a woman would say in response to a man's actions or physical attributes. So if it is been used in disparagement of someone, that someone is most likely a man.
