Back pat - what is it?

a group of people who meet to give each other awards or compliments for the sole purpose of feeding their egos

I went to a town hall meeting and watched the aldermen thank each other for their hard work last year. It was a mutual back-patting society.

What does "back pat" mean?

The annoying way one person (usually female) will pat another person (usually male) on the back during a hug, signifying that sex between the two will never, EVER happen. However, this can also used by males in a professional setting to avoid premeditated sexual harassment charges by a female colleague.

Ryan: "Dude, I hugged Veronica and she just gave me the back pat AGAIN."

Justin: "Yeah... she did that to me, too. We are so NOT getting any ass from her."
