Like back-peddling refers to when you pedal backwards on a bike. Back-paddling is trying to back-peddle when you have no solid ground to stand on like in the ocean.

Back-peddling pussy 

MMO slang. Typically what the Bow Fag does once they draw the aggro of the mobs. They run around backwards while shooting the mobs which are chasing them. Or course this in turn requires all the melee class to follow in pursuit. So it basically looks similar to a Benny Hill re-run.

The bow fag ranger just grabbed the aggro of all the mobs, so now he's a back-peddling pussy.

"So you're a rascist?!"
(back peddling)"Well no, I didn't mean it was a group a black racists and their slogan."
"Well then how is it rascist"?
(back peddling)"Well, I guess I should not have used the word 'racist.' Maybe I meant 'extreme' or something."
"So you're niw saying that BLM is an extreme group, made up of only black people"?
(back peddling)"Yeah, well I guess some non-black people support BLM. I didn't mean that it was a problem group of black people."
"Sounds like you did."
(back peddling)"I'm not a racist. I just worded it incorrectly."
"Uh huh. Riiiiiiiiight."

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.
