Scratching the back of your leg

If you're scratching the back of your leg, it means you are nervous because you are in the presence of someone who is very attractive that you like a lot.

I was on a date with this girl the other night and she couldn't stop scratching the back of her leg; she likes me a lot.

Girl: I don't know why my leg is so itchy.

Guy: Oh I heard that scratching the back of your leg means that your nervous or something. And that your with someone you like a lot.

Girl: Well that explains it!

Corporate Backscratching 

When corporations use their multiple media outlets to cross promote.

When Tom Cruise goes on Jay Leno to promote his new movie getting released by Universal Studios which is owned by the same company, GE, that owns NBC. That's Corporate Backscratching my friends!

Backscratching (Videogames) 

The act of shooting in the direction of teammates to kill enemies.

Typically in cooperative videogames, backscratching occurs when enemies are surrounding a friendly player or NPC, and the player shoots or attacks almost directly at the friendly player or NPC to clear the enemies off their back. This is more common in games with melee enemies and very little or no friendly fire damage, such as the popular and beloved Left 4 Dead series.

The term was originally comes from armored tank warfare, where if enemy infantry are crawling all over a friendly tank trying to plant a sticky bomb or open the hatch or shoot inside or something, a tank will shoot their machine gun directly at the friendly tank, causing ricochet to kill the enemy infantry, leaving the heavily armored friendly tank relatively unscathed.

Have you played Left 4 Dead 2 yet? Go play it and experience the magic of backscratching!
