I dont really know what "double down " means.

"Me neether", as they say. "Double Down" appeared Downunder recently and means nothing to me. I'm almost getting my head around "back to back" though.

Another one that confuses me is when they talk about "Offshore Winds" and "Onshore Winds". I know that a westerly comes from the west and an easterly comes from the east but "offshore" and "onshore" ... duh!

It all depends on the direction you are facing, when having a p1ss, on the end of the pier. With, or against the wind.

As a card player I knew what Double-Down meant but bugger me I never realised it was an Intransitive Verb. Maybe that's why I had so many loosing hands.
