"Double Dip" Am I the only one that thinks that phrase is just a little lame?

There ya go again stirrin' the pot-o-happiness! LOL
You're right, Sam. I feel some cuttin' coming on.
When you double-dip in a social setting, that means you have dipped your veggies/chips/whatever into a shared dip/sauce, taken a bite, and dipped again with the end you just put in your mouth. You have now potentially shared germs and saliva with all the guests. ...yummy!
I guess when using this term in pool, would this mean you just spit on your opponent when you double-dip them? I'm just saying.
With that said, I like saying it, I just don't like it done to me.

Coming from you though Craw - stuck it in twice doesn't hint of anything sexual....I immediately think of puncture wounds, just sayin'
I've been thinking about this and double dip is a pretty dumb term in this context. Are we getting so bored in pool that we are making up terms to make pool sound cooler to laymen?
Here are some alternate terms:
Double whammied
Regurgitated win. (won, let it settle, came back up and won again)
Repeat defeat
You "dejavu'ed" your opponent.
Achieved a pair of dingers.
I could go on, but let's just call what it is: You win twice.
BTW: The name of my break is the flying zucchini, expect to be hearing that term all over Texas

I love the disclaimer at the end of your post!
Do you have a phrase to replace that one or are we supposed to come up with it on our own?
Yes i believe you correct lea A corey didn't "double dip" fuller at all. It said fuller beat cd to win the hotseat then cd came back and beat fuller a single race to 9. lol "hotseat" there's another one "the hotseat match!" i like that one tho.
How about double stung.
Corey must have won 2 seminole tourneys in a row for the writer to have said something about double dipped. As we all know fuller was not double dipped.
Fuller doesnt get involved with these pros that many times during the year and i'm sure this got under his skin a little.
I didn't see the article of him double-dipping strickland a couple weeks ago for the win....
Cmon reporters get the story that people want to hear. The one about david and goliath...not the rerun of corey winning a tourney.
Ill tell you whats awesome, is when IM in league and I scratch, they grab the cue ball out set it down and ask, its ball in hand right? Man i love that.
Was it a employee of dairy queen that was also a railbird... That's hillarious.
Don't sweat it Dave. The young'uns are just showing their age.
Based on your explanation I'll settle for double dipped.
But I wonder if your creative juices weren't flowing fully when you wrote this post?
On another related note: I wonder where the term 'fade' came from.

Double dip doesn't bother me but the following sports expressions are old to me:
give 110%
play within yourself
wow the momentum has really shifted
he's really playing with confidence
he's in the zone now
he playing out of his mind
There are many others that sound like they are pressing a button in the commentary booth to summon the desired cliche.
My definition of double dip is the arse who dips a chip in the sauce takes a bite off of it and dips the same chip in the sauce again. That really does piss me off.

a little knowledge about a lot of things(grin)
Jim,
My knowledge is like a lot of ponds, widespread but not too deep! I remember useless trivia from when I was a small child and retain little of my hard earned knowledge from intense study in later years.
One reason that terms are so confusing is that they often start as a sentence or clause and eventually get shortened to one word. It makes perfect sense to those that were around throughout the evolution but appears to make no sense to those that are hearing just one seemingly unrelated word.
Fade is another term that makes little sense by itself especially because "fade" has so many definitions. If someone thinks of the most common definition and goes no further then things are very confusing. To make matters worse english is a living language. I find old definitions and even old words completely missing from modern dictionaries leaving me feeling older than dirt!
