∙ 6y agoIf a sentence can be taken two ways we say it is ambiguous. Words that sound the same are called Homophones, or Homographs if they are written the same way.
If one of these were used in a sentence, then it could be called a pun or a play on words if it is a joke, or a double entendre if it is sexual or otherwise risque.
Also, there are euphemisms, which are ways of talking around things that are taboo.
For instance, a lady might say that she needs to powder her nose, rather than flatly saying that she needs to use the toilet.
