    Triple threat should only be used in WWE matches.

    Outside of that you look like an arse, too desperate to be American.

    MF might well disagree with most of that, particularly the "adept" bit.

    Has this just appeared over the last 2-3 years? Seen in a job advert:

    This leader in the finance industry is urgently looking for a talented triple-chunt, with expertise in (x), (y) and (z).

    Think I'll pass based purely on the language they use in the ads, might be a bit too 'bleeding edge' for me.

    Apart from AndyW's mum, NLyUK and MF that is.....
    "According to the dictionary, a triple threat is someone in a particular field who exhibits three skills that are necessary to excel. Usually, those three skills are related in some way."

    To quote from Jeremy Clarkson, if you are disgusted by that, what word do you use when a dog eats donkey sh1t then pukes it up on the lounge floor?

    I think this has to do with taking a widely used term from one industry and applying it to another / changing it slightly. In media/telco, triple play & quad play are widely used and words like triple threat are used to describe competitors offering triple play services. Maybe the recruiter has worked in media/telco previously and used it for the ad ?

    Having said that, triple-play & quad-play were only coined 6-7 years ago (or atleast that's when I heard them)
