'I dare you' is a normal reply of challenge. May be in colloquial English ,people, in reply to the above, say "I double dare you."
"Go on, I dare you." "I don't dare to say" " How dare you write without my permission." The above are some of the normal patterns in which 'dare' is used. |

This is the sort of expression that children would use to each other when they are challenging each other to do things that involve risk and mischief. It would be a kind of extra dare.

Famously used by Jules (Samuel Jackson) in the movie Pulp Fiction, it refers to a "extra dare" over the traditional dare. Its dare squared!
Jules: "Say 'what' again. Say 'what' again, I dare you, I double dare you **, say what one more ** time!"
