(3) For "double agent," Maltz liked the slang expression jey'naS ghoqwI'<br>
(literally, "double-headed ax spy"). He said the non-slang term 'o'wen<br>
could also be used for "double agent," but its meaning is a bit broader --<br>
it's used to refer to someone (or something) of ambiguous status. As Maltz<br>
put it, "You're not quite sure if it's this or that. You think it's one<br>
thing, and it may be, but it may be another."<br>
