      The best colloquial term for that rant is probably “doubling down”.

      You are correct on one thing: I have not heard that phrase used in the manner in which you describe.

          so I suppose you could say i’m trifecting down.

          I suppose you could say that, but no, I could not.

            You could if you had faith in yourself. My momma always said “Jeff, you could do anything you want if you weren’t so damned stupid”. That’s why I never had faith in myself.
