What do you call two innocent words that form profanity when said together?

Sea Men
Arent they called euphemisms?

A euphemism is usually an innocent word with a secondary, profane meaning. Or a means to make a certain idea more palatable. I guess things like "friendly fire" is a type of euphemism. Even when we say that we "slept" with someone is a euphemism.

Ahh yes indeed you are 100% correct ;)
 
I also haven't a clue, but oh life would be so boring without them.
 
I think double entendre comes close.
