Bend Over Backwards

To bend over backwards would assume some or all of another's problems as one's own. To bend over backwards for someone would portray the idea of going the extra mile and carrying another's burden in addition to one's own.

It would essentially mean twisting, bending, and utilizing a portion of one's interrupted routine (or literally, their body) into a position requiring effort, inconvenience or discomfort.

To exceed expectations by an identifiable action in addition to or at the exclusion of someone's personal responsibilities. The phrase might also be used as insinuation for sexual acts, or when used under the pretense of sarcasm... or both.

Possibly a state of mind. The phrase might be used when referring to someone who finds a portion of their identity in acts of service, hospitality, or ministry.

When used in a congratulatory manner, it could refer to someone who bends over backwards by contributing far more than had been expected or anticipated. It might be used in recognition of expended effort or resources to solve a problem.

Could be used as a prediction of anticipated effort. Someone enrolling in college or beginning a new career might be warned with the phrase that they will need more than "talent" to reach their intended destination.

First submission. Wide open to correction or improvement. Thank you.

Those folks are always bending over backwards for their neighbors." "The crew bent over backwards to make that show happen."

Riding the Horse Backwards

When taking a shit, sitting backwards or facing the wall or toilet tank so that when the turd drops, it lands on the runway and not in the water.

This can be done to leave some serious stench as the whole turd and not just the tip is fully exposed to the air, or just to leave a present firmly attached to the bowl for the next person or owner of the shitter.
Dude 1: "What the fuck is that stench coming from the shithouse?"

Dude 2: "Some asshole dropped a duece riding the horse backwards so the shit didn't go down."

backwards recliner

Similar to the "Reclining Chair", but instead gender flipped and backwards (evidently).

In the situation when a female/male is laying down facing up and providing head for a man sitting on top (preferably with his/her legs kicked up to provide support for him, hence the chair aspect, as the angle can be quite difficult to maintain). When the man on top starts to reach climax, he quickly flips around so that as the bottom provides a rimjob until the man climaxes, ejaculating over the bottom's torso.
Male 1: Yo I was slamming that girl from my church the other night, and right when she thought I was gonna nut in her mouth I flipped the script and pulled the greatest backwards recliner the world had ever seen. It was so great my cock sauce was red.

Male 2: I think you might need to see a doctor...
