  What it means

  Literally “on double gas.” Means at double speed, with twice the energy — “at double speed,” “in overdrive,” “going full throttle.” Also colloquially means very drunk.

  Vocabulary

  • podwójny — double
  • gaz — gas, accelerator

  Grammar note

  'Na podwójnym gazie' uses the locative of 'podwójny gaz' after 'na' — state/manner.

  Cultural context

  The double meaning (double speed and double drunk) mirrors 'na gazie' — both the driving and drinking senses are active.
