Talk behind sb's back
What form of "back" should I use if somebody is in plural form?
Shoud I write:
"He often talks about people behind their backs"
or
"He often talkes about people behind their back" ?
Thank you

It is an idiom, so you can use the singular, but the plural is OK too.
He talks about his friends behind their back.
