Verb: "to undergo a backlash". I thought it was more the opposite: to cause or set off a backlash. Equinox ◑ 21:59, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Agreed. One might say "His scheme backlashed on him". Dbfirs 07:30, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

RFV failed, def replaced with Equinox's text. I also added {{rfquote-sense}}. BTW, judging from the b.g.c. hits, we're missing a boatload of other senses, if anyone wants to work on that. —Ruakh_TALK 02:51, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
