backorder

when you hear that this item has to be backordered, it means you're fucked. often it's a smaller piece infrequently needed for a larger thing, but will be critical for your needs. is not being massively shipped to every convenient location near you, may have fallen out of favor over time. comes from like one place far away, and often takes it's sweet time to travel, because the company seems to not care to expedite it. it's like they don't really care about selling it anymore.
we'll have to backorder those cables/batteries/broken antenna piece /whatever. anything proprietary and rare.

backorder

The feeling of a dick up your ass from a presumably reputable, albeit asshole, company that doesn't care for the blue-collar working class. Depending on the demand for the product and their mood on that day, they can decide to postpone the back-order from a week to several months.
Damn, Gibson backordered my guitar another four fucking months. Looks like I can't do anything but accept it and wait.
