Mortal Jeopardy

Extreme exposure to danger or risk, to a degree so serious that it would pronounce your certain doom, mortal peril.

The country seems to be in mortal jeopardy because of its unscrupulous and corrupt leader.

"Jeopardy!" theme humming-on-hold

What you do to remindingly indicate to someone dat you're patiently waiting for him to tell you an answer, finish up with something, etc.

You hafta be careful about employing da "Jeopardy!" theme humming-on-hold technique to gently pressure someone to get his a** in gear and be forthcoming with whatever action he's supposed to be doing for you --- some people really enjoy said catchy tune, and so your melodiously warbling it might actually SLOW HIM DOWN because he loves listening to it so much; heck, you might even PUT HIM TO SLEEP if you softly vocalize said soothing melody for too long a time! :P

"Jeopardy!" theme humming-on-hold

Refers to da substitute-for-grumbling-at-a delay vocal action dat you engage in while unexpectedly/unavoidably having to wait for something basic or mundane to occur, such as for equipment to warm up, someone to answer da phone, a web-page to load on an internet-computer, etc. Great for when you're either babysitting children (for whom soft singing is often an effectively-calming/soothing way of "placating them for a few" till a desired action/event can happen) or presently have one or more adult-colleagues there who need certain actions and/or information-locating performed on their behalf, and so you are sympathetically showing them dat you hate having to be held up, as well, just da same as they do.

Everyone loves da catchy "Alex Trebek waiting for da contestants to think of an answer" melody, so performing a round of "Jeopardy!" theme humming-on-hold can work wonders to make everyone feel less grumpy/impatient at having to take a little longer than normal for something they want to happen.

The Jeopardy Complex

Definition: Residents which reside in a nursing home live in a false reality where they are a contestant on Jeopardy!. They proceed to ring their call bell all day because they think they know the answer. In fact, they don't need anything at all and deny ever ringing the bell to start with.

CNA: "This is the eighth time Jim rang his bell in an hour and did not need anything."
LPN: " He must have The Jeopardy Complex."
CNA: " Now he's trying to get out of bed, must have won the game."

Double Jeopardy

When good fortune strikes you twice

C-Note: A girl just sent me 3 texts at 11:11, that must be extra lucky right? Double Jeopardy!

double-double jeopardy

duplicating a charge under same but difference charges (violation of a restringing order, can also be expressed as contempt of court order). Having one offense of violating the order, being charged under both description and charges doubles a single allegation of a crime that is also double jeopardy. Also re-litigating the case after it was tried in civil court, then in criminal court, both with the same consequence is double jeopardy. Duplicating charges under different names and then re-prosecuting them; becomes a double-double jeopardy; like in-and-outs double-double burger

DA Jeff Rosen is obsessed with Art Master, he's prosecuting Master as double-double jeopardy protections apply. That';s why he is known as the Double-Double DA. If the doubles the charges and both side meet in the middle when negotiating, he is getting defendants basically to agree to all original charges.
