batear por los dos equipos Explanation: You double dippin' ? = ¿Estás batando por los dos equipos? Claro, que es analogía con el beisbol que no es tan popular en todos los países, y además tiene doble sentido (homosexual). Aquí el significado sería un conflicto de interés, que saca provecho por los dos lados en conflicto entre sí. Si no te sirve directamente, que te sirva de inspiración. |

¿vas a los dos “equipos”? / ¿eres hincha de los dos? Explanation: Double-dipping = taking advantage of a situation twice, in this case, earning money from the company, and receiving a bribe from Perry (for stationary with the company's letterhead) The idea of "double-dipping" became even more known/accepted thanks to an episode of Seinfeld (one of the most watched sitcoms in US television history), when the character George openly accused a fellow party-goer of "double-dipping" (with chips and salsa). :-) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2006-02-25 00:15:53 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Regina: What's the deal? You double dippin' ? = ¿y eso, qué pasa? ¿vas a los dos equipos? / ¿eres hincha de los dos?
