Backpedaling

Backpedaling is a fun, but dangerous activity. To backpedal, one must run backwards. That makes it dangerous because you can't see what is ahead of you in the direction you are running. The writer of this definition broke his wrist while preforming this exercise on the day this definition was written.

In P.E, we were backpedaling around the gym. I tripped, and broke my wrist.

Backpedaling

To reverse to an earlier part of an argument and alter and reuse it later on in the argument. Kind of like how literally backpedaling on a bike makes it reverse, so you can change directions after going the wrong way.

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.
