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

Call me grumpy, call me a party pooper... but it's just a term that......well, sounds kinda stupid. I see it/hear it , anymore, as the only way to describe beating someone twice for the win. I've seen many threads on here, of words that get used so often they irritate others, this is just a thread on one word.

"Did Danny have to doubledip him"?
"Wow Gabe doubledipped him, huh"?
"Yeah, Danny got doubledipped"
"So, was there a double dip in the onepocket"?
"Did he get doubledipped"?
"Yeah, he got doubledipped"

I mean, can we trace the origin of this??? Was it a employee of Dairy Queen, that was also a railbird?

This weekend, I must have seen/heard it in a chat about 25 times. It's one of those terms that gets used so much, that it loses any "coolness" after the 100th time you've heard it. Then I go to the AZB home page and see it there!

Myself, I could never imagine using that term, but then again, I've never felt any need to drive down the "hip highway".

Now, for those of you that use it, I am not knocking you, I'm just expressing my opinion of the word. I was just curious if there were others out there in forum land, that shared my opinion.

<Disclaimer: I am trying out some new medication and I'm feeling a little irritable. While the above post may express my true opinion, the irritableness made me post it. I will be duct taping my hands together later, to prevent any further outbursts>
 
Give me an alternative expression. I can't think of one.

P.S. Please take your meds!

I agree-VERY lame!! The only thing worse is describing someone's play as "pretty sporty".

You grumpy party pooper. :) (only caused you asked for it)

you are allowed to say double dipped if you have experienced twins.....then the term can be anything you want it to be :eek: :thumbup:
 
'double dip' is an accepted pool term meaning one player beat another player 2 sets in a row. Usually in a tournament finals.

Just saying 'double dip' can make you look like you know more than the average ball banger.

After hearing the phrase 'double dip' in a conversation or more likely a CHAT in a streaming video... more than a few DOZEN times would irritate even the most tolerable players. Enough is enough, how about giving it a rest.

Or, just 'grin and bear it', or 'keep a stiff upper lip' or 'I think you get my drift'
 
dipping

Dipping once was slang for pick pocketing. I would think that the origin of "double dipped" and all of it's variations came from that meaning of the word rather than ice cream. Since I never associated "double dipping" on a pool table with ice cream I don't have any issues with an expression that seems quite apt to me.

It's not my fave, but it's quicker to say or read or write than any alternative...except twice-baked...just made that up and I think I'll start using it. :thumbup:

But Deuel didn't "double-dip" Fuller, did he? The Seminole article said he did, but I think it was a single race-to-9 final set, right?

I will say this.

Corey was playing jam up this past weekend. His new cue hits a ton. He had to double dip Fuller to take off the tournament. A lot of other tourists played pretty sporty but noone could sit Corey on the bench. I'll tell you, you'd have to be playing lights out to dip Corey when he's breakin and in punch.

Pool Lingo

We gotta have pool lingo, its part of the game when referring to certain situations without going into a long explanation.

The term "double dip" pretty well tells the whole story!

Double dunk?
Two winner/two loser?
Twofold win/twofold loss?
Dual dunk?
Two beat?
Two fold? To win the tourny, Earl has to 'two-fold' Efren? Did Soquet win? No he was two-folded by SVB..

Two fold could be your replacement.....
 
how about just double up? I had to double up to win....or he doubled me up in the finals. Not much different than dip, but not as dippy sounding either.
