Backtrolling

Backtrolling

Backtrolling (bæk•troʊl•ɪŋ) (verb)

The exact origin of this word is often disputed, due to the usage in two distinct cultural subgroups; Rural Cajun, and Urban Black/African American. Both variants come from Southern Louisiana and date back to the early 1980s.

1. Cajun: The act of using an outboard boat motor to slowly move backwards while fishing. This was often done due to lack of the financial resources needed to obtain a trolling motor and deep cycle battery for a fishing boat. Running the motor in reverse allows for a slower “trolling” effect needed for certain fishing techniques.

2. Black/African American: The act of moving backwards using reverse in a car on idle, while attempting to capture attention of potential female mates. This is most commonly done with a group of 2-4 males, whom after passing a group of females, will put the car in reverse and idle backwards to meet them.
Example (1): “Clovis, How’s ya mama an’ dem!”? “Me an Ti-Jean gone backtrolling, caught barbue. Gonna make coo’ boo yon”.

Example (2): “Y’all Niggas backtrolling”? “Ahhh Shiit, check thottie”.
