Get the Repression mug.An alternative term for the "McDouble" at McDonalds fast-food restaurants. It is the same as a "Double cheeseburger", minus one piece of cheese. These are now seperate items on the menu because of the "high cost" of cheese since the economic troubles in the United States. A"double cheeseburger" would cost about $0.40 more than a "McDouble".
