BODY EXPRESSIONS: BEHIND SOMEBODY'S BACK (Review): meaning and examples

Good morning.

Back in October of 2003 we sent a Daily Vitamin about today's expression. We have decided to review it today.

Today's expression is: behind somebody's back

Meaning: If you do something behind someone's back, you do it without them knowing, in a way which is unfair.

Example 1:
I don't want to talk about it behind his back, since I consider him to be a friend and would prefer to discuss it with him present.

Example 2:
She was accused of going behind her colleagues' backs to talk to management.

If you have any questions about today's Daily Vitamin, please post them in the Daily Vitamin Plus! forum section on our website.

Remember that there will be no Daily Vitamins until Tuesday, April 10th.

Have a wonderful Easter week!
