Backbiting
Today I learned a new word - backbiting, which is the most thing that I hate. There is an old Chinese saying which reads "谁人背后不说人"，it means that everyone will talk about others behind their backs. Although I know that individuals shouldn't care too much about what others think, as no one understand you more than yourself, I couldn't help thinking about how they judge me for the things I did inappropriately or I said carelessly. I try to be nice and helpful, but I also don't want to be regarded as weak.

There are special usages (like 'It is raining') that don't follow this rule, and native speakers often aren't careful about it.

Thank you Michael, it's good to know that.

Good word to use but not much used anymore. "They were talking behind my back" or "I hate when people talk behind my back". Like I said, It's a good word to use, its just that I hear it more from bosses : " . . . and the things I will not tolerate around here is tardiness, slacking off on your job, and backbiting about others"
