When Dru and Darla go to Holland's house to have their massacre, Dru says " Grandmum won't eat the double-speak". She says this while Darla is talking to Holland. Does anyone have any ideas what she meant. the only thing i can think of is that double-speak may mean double-talk or lying. I am assuming when she refers to Grandmum she is speaking of Darla. What do you think?

I like the word gobbledygook :).

And yes, Darla is Dru's sire-grandmother: Darla sired Angel, Angel sired Dru.
