Throw it around the back
Hello, I've got a question about expression " throw it around the back". In the following context it has the meaning of "changing back", right?
In what other situations can we use this expression?
Thank you.
Dorothy: Oh, it's nice having friendly neighbors. Our last neighbors were so standoffish.
Doug: Well, don't worry about us, we're stand-onish.
Dorothy: You're Amish?
Doug: No, no, it was a joke ’cause you just said, "standoffish" so I threw it around the back with a “stand-onish”.
Dorothy and Tim: Okay. Oh, good, yeah!
