@Cheesecakq Thank you

stop what you are doing

If I am talking about a car, it means reverse the car. In other contexts it can mean to slow down what you said or repeat it. Back it up could also mean to make a copy of something digitally. Like backing up your hard drive.

It means to take a few steps back. It is often used to Indicate that either your vehicle is to close to the other one in front of it, or to tell someone that they are invading your personal space and you would like them to step back

@djwang77 thank u, i got it

@djwang77 backing up a little bit behind can be dangerous if there are many cars arranged. Making sense? I made an example sentence with the phrase.

What context are you referring to?

@Sakashi Chrissy: "Oh that feels so good!"
Tom: "Oh yeah, you want it harder?"
Chrissy: "Yes!"
Tom: "Back it up, back it up!"

basically what a guy says to a girl he's fucking from behind, asking her to push her ass back so she grinds onto him

It can be used to tell someone to move back informally.

It can also be used when referring to backing up files on a device.

@laureete77 "back it up" can mean a lot of things

it's literally meaning is "to back up"
for example "that truck needs to back it up"

it can also be used as slang instead of "twerking"
for example "I like it when you back it up"

@OnionFastener oh ok thank you

Grind on me. "Back it up on me"

@01heart Hey there, I don't know what it means either.

if you can break it down , I'd really appreciate it a lot

Pode significar uma das duas coisas seguintes : Salvar (tipo um arquivo eletrônico) ou 'Vá pra trás'.
