Canadian politics

In Canadian politics, the term is used to refer to politicians or civil servants who draw one pension, or benefit, while working in another job within the government; or drawing two pensions at the same time. The issue became a centrepiece in a campaign by the National Citizens Coalition and a national issue in Canada, affecting many federal politicians, and forcing accountability and disclosure within the Canadian political process.

Food

Double-dipping can refer to an offense derived from the custom that it is considered rude (and unsanitary or a violation of etiquette) to place food back into (and thus contaminate) a communal bowl after it has touched a person's hands or mouth.
The term was popularized in an episode of the sitcom ''Seinfeld'' ("The Implant"), written by Peter Mehlman. George Costanza dips a tortilla chip again after taking a bite. His girlfriend's younger brother Timmy notices the offense and castigates George for being a double dipper. A fight ensues.
TIMMY: What are you doing?
GEORGE: What?
TIMMY: Did...did you just double-dip that chip?
GEORGE: Excuse me?
TIMMY: You double-dipped the chip!
GEORGE: "Double-dipped"? What are you talking about?
TIMMY: You dipped the chip. You took a bite. And you dipped again.
GEORGE: So...?
TIMMY: That's like putting your whole mouth right in the dip! From now on, when you take a chip - just take one dip and end it!
Doubled dipped can also refer to ice cream dipped in a sauce, usually chocolate.[1] This definition also occasionally extends to other foods, such as strawberries.[2]

DVDs

This term is also used in referring to DVDs. In the case of double dipping, the movie has already been released on DVD and it gets re-released, typically adding new special features or as a "special edition." It refers to dipping your hand into your pocket to pull out your money for a second time.

Roller Coasters

On a roller coaster, a double dip is a hill that levels off for a bit about halfway down.

Drugs

Various drugs such as the psychedelic LSD are measured by their potency. Thus, a 'double dipped' dose of LSD would be twice as strong.
