An action in which one is almost always ready to do a group activity, but when it comes time to show up, they always have a reason not to participate. Most people know or have known a backpedaler at one point or another.
Lily: Oh man, lets all participate in a fun party game or event!
Everyone else: Wow! That sounds like a great idea, lets do it!
Lily: Haha... Actually i don't want to do that, but i'll watch!
Everyone else: You need a new set of tires after backpedaling that hard

Nothing like a good Scandinavian Backpedal to make you go six fifths.
Where you are being fucked anally against your will, and you instead of struggling, use your own spit to lubricate.
I was in a cell with this guy, he was struggling for a while, but eventually, he learned to just backpedal soup.
A person who makes a bold statement, then, upon reflection decides that they can't stand behind their reactive decision and does a flip-flop. The true backpedaler will carefully choose an alternate opinion designed to mask their original panic.
1. We have to re-evaluate our stance! This new development is going to kill us!
2. I *meant* that this new development may be strategically significant and we should evaluate the opportunities. :)

A technique commonly used in arguments whereupon someone returns to a previous point they had made and pretends what they had said after that point never happened. Used in an attempt to null arguments that have been proven wrong, to prevent humiliation or to prevent the disputer from identifying that they have made a stupid argument. Politicians frequently use this in order to prevent interviewers from getting to the root of the problematic things they say. Really fucking annoying.
"You mean to say that ALL black people are stupid?"
"Um, er, um...as I was saying, formal education in the private sector requires improvement."
"Bruh stop backpedalling dude."
When your mate grabs your shlong and you move their arm up and down to masturbate.
His mum endulged me in some Scandinavian backpedalling last night after the dutch rudder.
When you, in the moment, think you just posted the funniest thing online, but have second thoughts and eventually delete it after reviewing it thoroughly, typically by trying to see it from the perspective of the audience.
Wait, did Phil delete his Story, where he argued that Harry Potter shouldn't have been British? I wanted to send that to someone.
I guess he's shitpost backpedalling. I thought it was funny too.
