BACK to SLANG
back seat driver
Definition: Someone who gives unwanted advice; someone who tries to run things even though they don’t have the power or authority to do so.
Example: Rob is the worst back seat driver I know - he’s always telling me what to do.
Etymology: Sometimes people riding in the back of a car will give advice to the driver; this is usually more annoying than helpful. This phrase can be used literally (in a car) or more generally to make fun of someone who is giving unwanted advice.
back to the drawing board
Definition: To begin again; to repeat a process, often after a major setback.
Example: Professor Hoopeldinger had to go back to the drawing board after his experiment blew up.
Etymology: If the initial design for a building or aircraft fails, the designer has to go back to his or her work table and begin again.
