'cheek in two ways' is the definition.
'lip' can be an answer for 'cheek' (both can mean insolence or rudeness). I am not sure about the 'in two ways' bit.

(Other definitions for lip that I've seen before include "Edge of mouth" , "Rim; impertinence" , "Rim; impudence (slang)" , "Edge; impudent talk" , "Aural impudence" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
