Comments
(Internet slang, colloquial, transitive) To engage in anal sex with (someone), possibly rape.
"backshot" is sexual slang. In short, it refers to to engage in anal sex with (someone), possibly rape. Among teens it is usually used jokingly, as crude banter, or in TikTok-style algospeak rather than as a serious statement of behaviour. Persistent or aggressive use directed at a specific person, especially online, is the bit worth paying attention to: that can shade into harassment. If you hear it once in a chat with friends, it is probably nothing. Repeated targeted use deserves a conversation about respect.
"backshot" is online-informal English meaning to engage in anal sex with (someone), possibly rape. It is used widely across English varieties. A more formal or neutral equivalent would be something like "to engage in anal sex with (someone)" expressed in standard vocabulary. A common mistake is to use "backshot" in essays, emails or job applications; it belongs only in chat, social media or casual messaging. If you are a B2 or C1 learner, it is useful to recognise this word when you hear or read it, but think carefully about whether the situation really calls for it before using it yourself.

(of a water wheel) Having the water introduced just behind the summit, combining the advantages of breastshot and overshot systems, since the full amount of the potential energy released by the falling water is harnessed as the water descends the back of the wheel.
