I learned about this a few years back. Do it often, especially in changing rooms.

It's not true, as guest pointed out, it merely distinguishes between a first or second surface mirror. In the case of a "two way mirror" (more properly, a "one way mirror", or even more properly, a "half silvered mirror") it will appear to be a mirror from whichever side is illuminated more brightly, and the other side will be visible from whichever side is more dim. Thus, if you put your face near the mirror and cup your hands around your eyes to block out the light from the side you are on, you can see the other side, even from the more brightly illuminated side.

This distinguishes between a first surface and second surface mirror, not necessarily a two-way mirror. Unless you've compared both types, you probably won't be able to tell the difference with this test. Actually, kind of useless information, really.

What exactly is a two way mirror? Another mirror on the other side? Someone being able to see you from a side?

A window with a completely dark room on the other side, making it mirror-like on the lit side

They mean a half silvered mirror. (see comment above)
