double down 

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.

Double Down Sandwich

A sandwich from KFC consisting of bacon, cheese, and thousand island dressing in between two pieces of chicken (fried or grilled). The sandwich has no bun, and has received extremely large amounts of controversy from various health groups. However, although the sandwich has 1,300 mg of sodium, about half of one's daily value, it does not have as much calories or fat as chicken sandwiches from Burger King or McDonald's. Also surprising, the grilled version of the sandwich actually has 50 mg more sodium than the crispy. Although not the healthiest choice one can make, it is certainly not the worst fast food item one may eat.

My wife thought I was crazy when I ordered the Double Down Sandwich at KFC, but it tasted delicious and wasn't too bad for me.

double down 

to engage in risky behavior, especially when one is already in a dangerous situation.

This figurative usage as appearing in the Oxford English Dictionary is a meaningful explanation of “double down” other than the ubiquitous “to double the wager in exchange for only one additional card in Blackjack gambit” in every online dictionary.
