Dirty-minded describes someone whose thoughts habitually drift toward sexual interpretations of otherwise innocent things.
Definitions
Dirty-minded describes someone whose thoughts habitually drift toward sexual interpretations of otherwise innocent things. A dirty-minded person hears double entendres everywhere, turns every ambiguous phrase into a punchline, and finds the suggestive reading in whatever is presented to them. The label is usually affectionate rather than condemnatory — an acknowledgment of a fun character quirk rather than a moral failing. Being dirty-minded is practically a requirement for enjoying certain styles of comedy.
She was so dirty-minded that even the plumber's visit to the sitcom became a running joke at her expense.

A phrase that covers a lot of ground depending on tone and context. In its everyday sense, dirty business refers to underhanded, unethical, or morally compromised dealings — the kind of shady conduct that makes people uncomfortable. In more explicit slang use, it's a euphemism for anal sex. The beauty of the phrase is how cleanly it inhabits both registers, letting speakers be deliberately ambiguous. Which meaning is intended usually becomes clear quickly from context and the company you're keeping.
