Unlike my poor mistaken friend who mistakenly defined the word as something else, I know what backstroke actually is. The perfect stroke, relying on actual physical strength, ability and will, unlike breastroke, which is dominated by three-foot tall dwarfs with no swimming talent and enormous feet. If you've actually watched swimming before, you know that it takes a sound backstroke leg to win the 400 IM or give your relay a win. Backstrokers tend to be more manly, and have fun playing games like "Dunk the breastroker."
Idiot Breastroker: OMFG ILY BREASTROKE! It's liek so kewl!
Me: Do you need help?
Idiot Breastroker: *Puts suit on inside-out* Let's do an 800 breast!
Coach: STFU.
Me: *Smiles*

The most complicated and beautiful stroke in swimming, backstroke is similar to freestyle but swum facing the sky, as opposed to the bottom of the pool like all other strokes. Backstroke is also different from freestyle, breaststroke, and butterfly because it is started in the water instead of from a dive. Backstrokers tend to be long and lean, with a strong core and thighs. Some notable backstrokers are Ryan Lochte, Aaron Peirsol, Natalie Coughlin, and Missy Franklin.

The act of stroking yourself while reminiscing of your ex-girlfriends, typically done while looking at their facebook photos. For added authenticity, some backstrokers have been known to call or text an ex-girlfriend who is still willing to talk to them, although the stroking is not known to her.

When Morgan Wallen fucks your girl reverse cowgirl and she makes a backstroke movement with her arms while doing so.
Man, my girl got fucked by the mean man with the mullet. She said he gave her the hillbilly backstroke.

When a gentleman wraps his dick in bacon and jerks off onto his lady companions back using the grease as lubrication. He then will let the lady eat the bacon, a treat in thanks for her troubles.

A reference to "Free! Eternal Summer", the sequel to " Free! Iwatobi Swim Club" Where when advertising the swim club, Makoto Tachibana announces when introducing himself, ( he is clearly nervous), that he " Has backstroke for days! And traps just as long". It became a meme for the fujoshi's who watch it.
Me: Makoto has backstroke for days, especially for Haru.
Other person: to bad Haru belongs to Rin
Me: FIGHT ME MAKOHARU FTW KYS RINHARU!

A metaphor for drinking alcohol. Kendrick Lamar used this metaphor on his 2012 song, "Swimming Pools."
