Your Definition
A word or phrase that sounds normal to most people but secretly holds multiple layers of meaning—emotional, historical, relational—only unlocked by specific people who “get it.” It’s like a double entendre mixed with an inside joke and a shared language between best friends, old coworkers, or your emotionally aware future self. from poly- (many) and sonance (resonance or sound), to describe language that compresses multiple emotional meanings into a single communicative gesture.
