| | Clarification request(s) and responseTerence Ajbro: 12:40pm Sep 10, 2004: I haven't heard this expression before and I can't find anything on the Internet that matches exactly. Maybe it is an expression invented for the occasion -
hirselina: 12:48pm Sep 10, 2004: Some kind on word play on "trip" and "fall". Could you give a little more context, X is not very helpful -

What could it mean in other words, some kind of double security?
