Talk:two-step

A U-turn?

Isn't two-step also used to characterize somebody quickly and smoothly changing their position on a issue when their original position is challenged or found to be unpopular? — This comment was unsigned.

Texas two-step refers to the dance?

@J3133 Re derivation from adj vs. noun: in fact it could well be an ironic reference to the dance (which also involves "two steps"), especially since it can be a noun too: "Texas two-steps". Equinox ◑ 16:09, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

@Equinox: “Two-step” in “a two-step bankruptcy strategy” cannot refer to anything but the literal sense. J3133 (talk) 16:12, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Re part of speech: it could still be a noun from the adjective. It is not unlikely that it is also a reference to the dance, but with derivation from the literal meaning. J3133 (talk) 16:25, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

@Equinox: After some thought, I have moved it to under the dance, as it does seem to be an ironic reference. J3133 (talk) 16:35, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
