Trick play trickier
A double reverse is a football play in which the ball changes direction twice through successive handoffs, typically designed to confuse the defense about where the ball is going.
The term extends to any situation involving two reversals of direction or strategy: The plot's double reverse caught me completely off guard.
In rhetoric or argument, a double reverse is a move that appears to concede a point only to use that concession against the opponent.
