Yeah nah, Pappy and Cal are both right:

Quote from: Urban Dictionary
Originally a term used in the card game blackjack, where a player doubles their original bet in exchange for exactly one additional card; most useful when the remaining deck is offering extremely favorable odds of making a total of twenty-one.

The term is increasingly used as a media euphemism when political figures tell bald-faced lies and when confronted with contradictory statements, the politician not only fails to retract their claims but instead expresses an increased certainty in their truth.
The political candidate claimed that 99% of the violent crimes committed in the United States were perpetrated by Canadians. When challenged with data indicating that in fact less that 0.1 percent of crimes are committed by Canadians, the candidate opted to double down, claiming that the data was incorrect. Further, the candidate pledged to, if elected, expel all US citizens with Canadian ancestry from the country.
“When men oppress their fellow men, the oppressor ever finds, in the character of the oppressed, a full justification for his oppression.” Frederick Douglass

I'm not into modern aphorisms. Let's stick to the traditional meaning,
and wonder at the idiocy that causes things to change in unreasonable ways.

@ Calandale     Like "nice" meaning retarted?  Gay meaning happy?  Monochrome meaning one coloured (new fashion term meaning only the person is wearing only two solid colours in a block.)

The PR hates it when I call her ma'am.

Not quite what I had in mind. 'Nice' generally IS retarded. Happy is the earlier meaning of gay. Like faggot is a bundle of wood.

Not sure what, in particular, was chewing me at the time of the post. Probably something from the 19th century or later.

"Use your words".

I'm sure I've mentioned this before.

I want to smack anyone who tries that around me, even if not aimed at me.

Anything religious. No, jesus didn't fucking die for a damned thing, and he sure as shit had no idea I was going to be bloody born. Guy is a rotting corpse, same goes for all the other major religious prophet types. Fuck em with a flamethrower sideways if you ask me.

'retarded' as an insullt, anything similar, E.g retard, spastic, although for some reason 'monged' has been current and has no association with Downs, it means to be so fucking baked after smoking weed that you are half asleep and draped over the nearest solid object. The likes of retard, retarded, its just insulting to those who actually have some form of MR. I'm likely to twat anyone who uses such terms again after being warned.

On a jar of salted cashews 'warning, may contain nuts'. You haploid tosser, if it doesn't contain nuts, then I'd be shoving the jar up your backside for ripping me off when I  wanted the food I paid for, and besides, anyone moronic enough to have a nut allergy and buy and eat a jar of nuts, deserves to die, they are just to stupid to live.

Most religious crap. Although I'm prone to using some rather archaic terms in my speech, '''steeth,'' and 'sblood' meaning 'gods teeth' 'gods blood', very old oaths last current a few centuries ago. And references to ancient civilizations, such as 'go to Hades/tartarus' and one thats probably unique to me 'it's just piss in the Styx', meaning 'fuck all'.

I keep getting told that I've got cursing and slagging people off made into a fine art, that I'm creative in the way I talk generally. I tend to throw phrases in quite a few languages in my speech, usually something profane, I swear in french, german, polish, russian, latin (like my tag line. 'homo stercore veteris, heterodiem'

means 'same old shit, different day' in latin.  As well as speaking ASL, so I can swear pretty well in ASL sign as well. A few bits of ancient greek, nahuatl, I just pick stuff up like that.

I've only ever heard "use your words" said to children who are hitting each other.  :lol1:

Not so much a saying, but rather an ill used article.

For instance, THE Beatles is fine, THE elevator is fine, THE Led Zeppelin is not OK!  THE Google is just stupid. THE cd is fine, THE Guess Who is fine (I would not have but they are Canadian, so whatever), taking THE I865 toward Chicago - just NO, but THE Twitter is ridiculous.

Stop throwing out random THEs people!!
