I was double-stabbed

It is a nice congruent conflation of “stabbed in the back” and “double-crossed”, both meaning to be betrayed. A big thanks to Jamie for sharing this one, and who immediately recognized it was a malaphor! Glad you shared it immediately, Jamie, as they quickly recede from the memory banks for some reason.
