double kill

Two rapid slayings

Double kill is a gaming term for eliminating two opponents in rapid succession, typically within a few seconds of each other.

The phrase originated in first-person shooters and multiplayer online games, where an announcer voice often declares the achievement: Double kill!

It extends to any context where someone accomplishes two things in quick sequence.
