SHANE'S EXCELLENT NEW WORDS: A double-dipping pleasure is waiting for you, because it's where you want to be.



Double dipping?

It isn't just for chewing gum (or ice cream) any more.


Gahan in eclipse? The ruling circle continues to shrink, but cerebral inbreeding makes better ideas, right? It certainly does wonders for pay packets.


 ... Hence the apparent (rumored) solution: allow Duggins to double-dip while at NAHA, continuing to moonlight coordinating the cash-stuffed envelopes at Redevelopment even as a loyal Democratic foot soldier (Tony Toran) is added at NAHA to do the unqualified Dugout's job, while assigning the task of pretending to do redevelopment work to the already well compensated corporate attorney, Shane Gibson, whose only true mission in the Church of Gahan is to coordinate the Machiavellian subterfuge of the preceding flow chart.

Be forewarned that the Urban Dictionary's explanations are not for the naive or squeamish, but Wikipedia's disambiguation page has several examples of usage for double dipping. A few of them are collected here. The list is not intended as exhaustive; that's why we have the FBI, after all.

Office holding: Dual mandate (or, double dipping)

Dual mandates are sometimes prohibited by law. For example, in federal states, federal office holders are often not permitted to hold state office. In states with a presidential system of government, membership of the executive, the legislature, or the judiciary generally disqualifies a person from simultaneously holding office in either of the other two bodies. In states with bicameral legislatures, one usually cannot simultaneously be a member of both houses. The holder of one office who wins election or appointment to another where a dual mandate is prohibited must either resign the former office or refuse the new one.

It's obvious, isn't it?


If you don't know what they mean ... just monetize them!
