The act of shooting in the direction of teammates to kill enemies.
Typically in cooperative videogames, backscratching occurs when enemies are surrounding a friendly player or NPC, and the player shoots or attacks almost directly at the friendly player or NPC to clear the enemies off their back. This is more common in games with melee enemies and very little or no friendly fire damage, such as the popular and beloved Left 4 Dead series.
The term was originally comes from armored tank warfare, where if enemy infantry are crawling all over a friendly tank trying to plant a sticky bomb or open the hatch or shoot inside or something, a tank will shoot their machine gun directly at the friendly tank, causing ricochet to kill the enemy infantry, leaving the heavily armored friendly tank relatively unscathed.

Get the Backscratching (Videogames) mug.Those songs that make you want to do retard dances or retard vibe. The first retard dance was created by my friend (who gave me permission to mention him) named Gethin. A retard dance is a dance where you let your body go funky and move to the beat. A retard vibe is the solution that comes from retard dancing / silly man moments and listening to retard vibe songs such as "Woah Oh Oh" by Zombie nation. I created the word Retard Vibe after listening to this song and standing up and letting myself go funky funk. Trust me, I knew exactly what it felt like the first time, you will just have to experience it for yourself.
Friend: What are you doing bah?
Me: Retard vibing
Friend: What's that?
Me: It's where you sit down and vibe like a retard or you do a silly man dance.
Friend: So it's just a dance?
Me: NO! It's a vibe, a solution that comes after dancing.
Friend: Ok, I get you know.
