"double click" to mean "focus on" or "explore in more depth"

Sorry, I run KDE.

Typical double click request is as follows:

Manager: Leadership wants a "double click" on the numbers on slide 8.
Doer: What do they want to see.
M: Well they wanted to see more about the numbers on slide 8 they thought it was interesting.
D: What number? Interesting how?
M: They want a double click? Does that work? How long will that take?
D: ummm a week?

It always sounds so deliberate.

It just sounds forced to me.

It's never said by people who created this slang as kids growing up with computers, it's like managers who just invented it in their 40somethings.

Like they're trying to be cool, but it's just not cool
