The best colloquial term for that rant is probably "doubling down".

You are correct on one thing: I have not heard that phrase used in the manner in which you describe.

I do find it hard to believe that you haven't heard the term outside of the initial portmanteau, so I suppose you could say i'm trifecting down.

go trifuckyourself if you're trolling me (i dont think you are, but i couldn't quickly find another excuse to use the term, apologies)

so I suppose you could say i'm trifecting down.

I suppose you could say that, but no, I could not.

You could if you had faith in yourself. My momma always said "Jeff, you could do anything you want if you weren't so damned stupid". That's why I never had faith in myself.
