Backwash is often created inadvertently or unintentionally when liquid escapes the mouth during the process of drinking, though it can also be created intentionally by an act of spitting or purposely letting liquid fall from one's mouth and back into the container.

When multiple people drink from the same container, there will usually be some amount of backwash put back into the container; as the number of sips increases, in general, the concentration of backwash also increases.
"Dude, I don't want your backwash." (This person has perhaps declined someone's offer of their nearly empty can of Coke).
