It's an idiom, though I'm not sure of its origin: Double Dog Dare

1. To up the ante when daring someone to do something.

2. The ultimate of dares, one that you cannot refuse.

Typically used by children), to see this phrase in context check out the film "A Christmas Story."

Wasn't there a BSG episode where Starbuck double dog dared Lee? It was funny.

[Dominus of Megadeus]

Was it when she dared him to say he loved her? That was a funny scene.

Oh, BSG! Why did you have to go?

[Livingston]

I think it might have been. I miss the BSG and I gotta see the Caprica.

[Dominus of Megadeus]

I'm hearing good things about Caprica. I was having doubts, but I'm starting to be swayed.

[Livingston]

Same here. From what I've read it is not as Dallas-like as people have claimed but still very dramatic and much less action than BSG. Certainly a different direction but in a good way.
