English

  1. to state that someone's back looks nice, usually as a reminder to say that someone's appearance should not be judged only with his or her back, as there may be discrepancies; literally: to have many marks on the back

粵語 — Cantonese

  1. 用嚟戲稱一個人從背面睇似乎好正,值好高分,亦用嚟提醒大家睇人唔好淨係睇背面,因為想像同真實往往落差好大。

Examples

    She looks great from behind, but you would cry for your mom if you saw her from the front.
