In Sweet Smell of Success (1957), press agent Sidney speaks to club's buxom blonde, ditzy cigarette girl Rita about newspaper columnist Leo Bartha:
Sidney: And, uh, were you… "interviewed"?
Rita: In his apartment.
Sidney: Where was his wife?
Rita: I don't know. It's a big apartment. Only I wasn't interviewed.
How can a native speaker understand "interviewed" mean "sex"?
Best Answer
Just about anything can mean sex if you hesitate with "uh", then pause with "..." then put it in "quotes". These are all things that convey sexual innuendo.
