I've always heard it used to describe someone who can sing, dance, and act or someone who writes, acts, and directs those are the only two variations that I'm aware of. The first coming from the stage and the second having evolved as cinema and television became more prevalent, though it can also fit with stage folk as well.

Outside of the arts, I didn't know that there was another definition. huh.

The fact that "triple threat" is infiltrating sports is another bit of evidence on how overwhelmingly gay sports really are. In a few years people are going to wonder how they missed it, just like the Village People back in '79.

(I guess George Blanda would have been the last steady run-pass-punt triple threat in football. Wikipedia has a good entry for "Triple_threat", btw.)

Seriously, aside from Doug Flutie's bizarro drop kick extra point in '06, when was the last time anyone saw a backfielder kick a football? Even legendary Oakland Raiders QB/Kicker George Blanda (the only professional player in the last half century SFAIA to successfully transition between the two positions) never successfully pulled this one off.

Technical point to Bethany, win to Dan.

Okay, so I watch a lot of musicals.
