Picture two girlfriends out for the night:
Wendy: That guy over there is totally hot.
Jane: Yeah, he's not my type, but you should totally go talk to him, he's perfect for you.
Wendy: Goes to order a drink.
Jane: Walks over to the guy who "isn't her type" right in front of Wendy and starts working it.
Wendy: "That bitch is totally frontstabbing me!

To betray another to their face.
To call out another on a failure or a mistake, generally in front of a group, to avoid having blame for their inadequacies being placed on you.

At the meeting, everyone was behaving like not filing the documents in time was my fault, so I had to frontstab John by asking him why he didn't complete them in time for me to file them

What I don't like about Washington is people do not let you know how they feel. They're very nice to your face and then they take a shiv or a machete and they stab it in your back. I don't like it. I'm a Wall Street guy and I’m more of a frontstabbing person.
