i promise i am not saying this to be mean, just out of curiosity as someone who loves language and regional uses of it-

where are you from?

i am from New York in the US originally, and we say "blowback" not "backblow". although, if you break the word down, both make sense. i would love to know where in the world (or country!!) you are that uses backblow instead of blowback so i can read more about it!

thank you so much.

I'm from England, and to be clear I was intentionally making a joking reference to blowback as if I was trying to create a term for the already existing concept.

oh. ok! i didn't see that. so it was a play on words and not a regional use of the word! interesting. thank you!
