What does the word innuendo mean in this context: the air is alive with chatter and laughter and casual innuendo. None of the dictionary definitions make sense.

I assume that innuendo in this context means covert sexual suggestions and flirting.
The Merriam-Webster Online dictionary seems to fit:

1 a. 1 a an oblique allusion : hint insinuation especially a veiled or equivocal reflection on character or reputation b. b the use of such allusions - resorting to innuendo
