Doubly fugitive ink by JJ[_2_]
I have seen this mentioned many times both on the net and in philatelic publications but cannot find a definition for it. Googling just shows it being used in many places, but never with an explanation. I wonder if the authors of the pieces where it is used actually know what the expression...
