Backpeddling

Someone who says something and takes it back.

A lover who doesn't get anywhere in a relationship.

And idiot ex-boyfriend.

One way to get over your backpeddling ex-boyfriend is to delete all his pictures.

Don't backpeddle.

Your boyfriend is just a backpeddler.

backpaddle

When a surfer decides not to take off on a wave and backstrokes with his/her arms to keep from being sucked over the falls. This is common with beginner surfers who end up getting in the way and wasting waves for others.

Look at that kook backpaddle off these waves, what is he doing surfing at this beach?

Backpaddle

Incorrect spelling of backpedaling, used by commenters and then justified by using an unreliable source.

It's understandable. I accidentally used backpaddle instead of backpedal. But I don't want to admit that I'm wrong.
