Backpedalling

A technique commonly used in arguments whereupon someone returns to a previous point they had made and pretends what they had said after that point never happened. Used in an attempt to null arguments that have been proven wrong, to prevent humiliation or to prevent the disputer from identifying that they have made a stupid argument. Politicians frequently use this in order to prevent interviewers from getting to the root of the problematic things they say. Really fucking annoying.

"You mean to say that ALL black people are stupid?"

"Um, er, um...as I was saying, formal education in the private sector requires improvement."
"Bruh stop backpedalling dude."

Backpedal Soup

Where you are being fucked anally against your will, and you instead of struggling, use your own spit to lubricate.

I was in a cell with this guy, he was struggling for a while, but eventually, he learned to just backpedal soup.

Backpedaling

When a decision or statement is reversed, or attempts are made to make it look like it is being reversed, after it has been passed.
Usually done after decision or statement in question is observed to have been received poorly, in an attempt to preserve one's image and reputation.

When your mate grabs your shlong and you move their arm up and down to masturbate.
