back-story

The history of the story. How the story became news. The rest of the story.

I've heard this used on CNN a couple of times. "Back story" is used when talking about a breaking news story, when the rest of the story isn't clear. "What is the back-story on the train crash?" Meaning how many were on the train. When did it leave, and how fast was it going?

Back Story Bore

Someone who refuses to answer a simple question and insists on giving you their entire life story.

“....and then I wanted to plant tulips but I just don’t think our soil is right for it...”
“Sir! I just need to know, soup or salad!” Said the poor waitress after a 5 minute story from the Back Story Bore on table 8.

“Can I get your name please, ma’am?”
“Well I called because I got this letter and I was going to call yesterday when I got it but then my sister called and then it started to rain so I had to....”
“MA’AM!!! I need your name before I can even help you!” Denise screamed at the back story bore who was eating into her lunch hour.

back in st. Olaf story

referring to someone who interrupts a story to tell a long, pointless story that goes on mindless tangents that has nothing to do with your original story like Rose was infamous for on the Golden Girls.

i.e Sarah:"So can you believe I ran into my ex from 5 years ago in a another count-"

Michelle: "Wow that reminds of the time my cat got the flu. You see what happened was......"

Matt: "ughhh, there Michelle goes telling another back in st. Olaf story again"
