Can someone explain "Double-Talk" ?

My friend told me the other day, that on the improv comedy show "Whose Line is it Anyway?", one of the contestants used a verbal technique called "Double-Talk". He couldn't remember what was said, but looked it up and couldn't find much.
I found an example of "Double-Speak", which apparently politicians are skilled at. When someone says something that's deliberately constructed to disguise the truth or distort the meaning, which results in a communication by-pass.
Is this the same thing as "Double-Talk"? I want to learn more about it so I can use it to my advantage, and confuse ppl for my own amusement, among other things. |

FYI: the show first started in England, then moved to USA for some unknown reason
you may catch some of the old re-runs of the old shows on tv

| Ah, I remember when Clive Anderson was the host, but I assumed it was american because most of the guests etc were. |

| Are you sure you don't mean double entendre? On Whose Line they sometimes have a game called "If You Know What I Mean..." where every sentence has to be double entendre of some kind, so I'm thinking that's what you're talking about. Double Speak isn't the sort of technique they're likely to start using on an improv-comedy show... |

Yea I heard that he coined a couple of phrases in that area. I'll definitely take a look at 1984.

"Read the book 1984" "for the win"? That doesn't make any sense. For the winning of what exactly? A "read 1984" contest? Some other competition in which the reading of George Orwell's disturbing vision of a dystopian future is a necessary condition for victory? Your logic is murky, good sir, and I demand to know your intentions. If you fail to explain yourself, I shall have no other recourse than to wail and gnash my teeth rather loudly. |
