MNHQ have deleted the thread about "the mother of all hoover backs". Can't say I'm surprised but how will we ever find out what the fuck a "hoover back" actually is?

Urban dictionary? I'm too scared to look

Apparently it means 'Being manipulated back into a relationship with threats ...'

I was trying to post when the thread disappeared. I think a 'Hoover back' must be some kind of parasite which can escape a vacuum cleaner.

Thanks sunshine. I googled it and all I got were sites selling spares for vacuum cleaners.
