Back Lip The edge of the bunker that is farthest from the green. Back Nine The last 9 holes of an 18 hole course. Backspin A reverse spin placed on the ball to make in stop short on the putting surface.
If the lateral speed is too fast, the ball doesn't have sufficient time to drop at least halfway before it bangs the back lip and pops out.
When I'm chipping uphill, on the other hand, I usually take the pin out. In this case, the back lip is higher and acts almost like a backboard, allowing for a more aggressive stroke.
