| Text | In this podcast, the phrase "to go behind (one's) back" means to do something secretly, without another person's knowledge, intentionally hiding one's actions from another person: "Why did you go behind my back and hire a new employee before I had an opportunity to conduct the interview?" The phrase "in the back of one's mind" refers to a thought that one would prefer to ignore: "Even while we were dating, I knew in the back of my mind that he was probably cheating on me." Finally, the phrase "to put (one's) back into (something)" means to work very hard, especially while performing physical labor: "If you put your back into it, you could finish shoveling the snow off the driveway in under 20 minutes." |
