micooke: Yeah, Kinda. The idea is to get the half of the gearbox connected to the flywheel spinning at about the same speed as the half that is connected to the drive shaft multiplied by the gear you're changing into's ratio. If you do it PERFECTLY you don't even NEED to clutch in. But I don't trust my skill that much. 
So in a sense, yes, we both used the correct terminology. At least, as far as my limited technical expertise goes.
bayka: Hah hah hah. Yeah. First time I saw "The Fast and the Furious" I didn't know much about cars. In fact, that movie is what got me into cars in the first place (hence why I have a Lancer, and not a good car as my first ride). Anyway, I wanted to find out what "double clutching" was, and as none of my friends could tell me, I searched high and low for information. But everything I came across didn't make sense. Why would Paul Walkers character need to double clutch in that situation? You know what I came up with? He didn't, and the director/scriptwriter/technical advisor fucked up.
Thing is, Vinny used to work on trucks for a living. So you would think HE would pick it up and ask the director why this was in the script.  Oh well, it's just a movie I suppose.
As for double clutching in our cars, as I said, I find it usefull when flying about in high revs just to give me a smoother transition, and power around the corners.

I think the quote is:
"YOU almost had me  ! Granny shifting not double CRUNCHING like you should."
Double crunching is VERY different to double clutching. You just dont double clutch a synchro. Double clutching is named so because you crunch it out of gear, the crunch it into gear. None of this smooth DBL clutching stuff. FNTF sucks neways, the 2nd one has sweet cars, but both think that a race is a street drag. It has been quoted many times before, but fast cars are for straights, fast drivers are for corners. (Althought the 2nd one shows pauls skills a bit more..)
Neways, the truth is that it takes most people as long to "granny" shift, as it does to DBL crunch. So the only improvement really is knowing how to do it in ur car.
