In response to "One (hyphenated) word: double-dipping." by David

I don't get this. You're guaranteeing money in a contract. Short of him being unable to fulfill his contract via his choice (retirement / jail)

am I missing how "Guaranteed" doesn't mean what it means? I'm just picturing Seinfeld, "Sir, I know what a reservation means." "I don't think you do."

Double-dipping occurs when a high first round pick busts out for one team then plays for another. - David Jul 15, 06:57 3
- Again, if 6mil is guaranteed, pay me 6mil. Otherwise, don't call it guaranteed. - Will Hunting Jul 15, 07:03 2
  - Well, it's guaranteed by someone. Basically, they'll pay you $6m unless someone else is paying you and it gets deducted. - spamlet Jul 15, 07:34
  - That's actually a good point. The word "guaranteed" is problematic in this usage. -- nm - David Jul 15, 07:21
