Back to Back

0Could anybody provide an example and explanation of the meaning of that idiom? The dictionary I've consulted just threw this: "one after another". Does it imply "in a row"?02br

0 Yes, "in a row" but in the temporal, rather than the spacial sense. As Clive said, "back to back classes" would be a good example. It's an odd expression, though -- more than two things in a row can't actually all be back to back, can they? 0-
