Find a word related to B A C K

Question

The idea is to find an English word (synonym –- antonym -- phrase, compound nouns, idiom, phrasal verb ) related to the word – B A C K (sustantivo, adjetivo, adverbio, verbo ) and then write a simple sentence in English and Spanish for that word.

Examples:

I was sitting with my back to the window.

Estaba sentada de espaldas a la ventana.

Neither of them will back down on this issue.

Ninguno de los dos cederá en este tema.

Pictures are a good idea.
