Two-way, to me, would be referring to a radio, or sometimes a beeper.
Urban Dictionary seems to suggest an article of underwear, however. Not 100% sure that's what they meant, but it seems to fit.

User:Avicennasis found the right Urbandictionary page, but looked at the wrong entry (the undergarment). The second meaning is: Two-way:short for two-way pager- a small electronic device that allows communication in two directions; a more advanced version of the original "pager" which worked by allowing a caller to send a numeric message to the person with the pager. After this message, the person would have to find a telephone to place a return call. A two-way pager allows a message (text) to be returned to the person placing the original page. The usage example that is given is exactly the song line
User:RudolfRed is asking about: She wears a two-way but I'm not quite sure what that means. --

We don't even need to guess: the writer already says he's "not quite sure what that means", which is a euphemistic way of saying he has no idea what it means at all. It's not meant to be comprehensible. It's just there for the kookiness-for-its-own-sake factor. --

Definitive answer - in 2012 University of York student newspaper York Vision published an article[1] recounting a backstage conversation with Erik Chandler of Bowling For Soup, in which he says, "It’s a pager, it’s a mobile texting device. Before you were texting on your telephones, there were ‘two way’ pagers." --

Why do today's players still think they can play though their illness/es and/or injury/ies no matter what? What will it take to change and/or stop this practice altogether. In when they are doing more harm then good. Especially, with the concussions (head injuries) and etc.
Concussions (head injuries) and etc
This is still ongoing for a yr now and don’t see it going away anytime soon. Now, its also with hockey coaches as well.
Whats up everyone making a bigger deal out Sidney Crosby's concussion/s and post concussion syndrome as opposed all of the others? Not just the NHL, but other sports as well. I'm still really quite unsure how I really feel about all of etc. — Preceding

In the NHL at least, no one plays with a concussion anymore. People make a big deal about Crosby because he's more famous than the others. I'm not really sure what else you're asking...

Of course they do. They just don't inform the coaches and/or medical staff of how they are feeling. If they can hide it well enough, they can keep playing. Not all players do this of course, but I would imagine there are plenty of references to NFL and NHL players admitting to the practice after the fact.
Here is an example of an NFL player discussing the issue from earlier this year. "But it's a common mentality among athletes, they don't want to let their teammates down, their coaches down. There is a warrior mentality." --

Well, true, but if they've been properly diagnosed there's no way they'll be playing, which wasn't the case even just a few years ago.

Thank you for all of your answers to my question here. Sorry, for any confusion that I caused with it because somehow always trouble with the wording of it.--
