Hello, community! Could anyone help me with the noun "backchat", please? I just wonder what this word means in this sentence: "There’s a lot of backchat with the trainers: the girls of this k-pop band are enjoying themselves". Are these girls talking rudely with their trainers or are they just talking ABOUT their trainers when they're out? What does preposition 'with' mean here? I would really appreciate your help!!!

It means they are "talking back" / "answering back" rudely. In other words, they are listening to what their trainers are saying, then they are making cheeky replies. They are not being politely humble & quiet while their trainers are speaking with authority. They think they know better. They are being argumentative. They don't appreciate their trainers. They are being arrogant. They are divas.
