Dear all,

What is the meaning of the expression. "to hit double digits"? Is it a famous idiom or something?

"2 people disagree and one of the knew secret info about the other. So the the first said "Just trying to hit double digits. So you got a glimpse behind the curtain. And?"

Thanks a lot

Arabic & More Jun 12, 2011:
Hassan has provided a correct explanation of the phrase. Another example could be:

Employment is now 6%. If it reaches 10%, employment "will hit double digits"--again meaning that it has reached a number from 10 to 99.

It is hard to comment on the example you provided above without knowing more about the context. It is not clear to me what the person is talking about.
