Back slang is a type of reverse language thought to have been invented in Victorian England by market sellers. To speak back slang, you just say the words backwards. Some of the terms have actually become modern words, such as "yob" or "yobo" for "boy" or "boyo."

Here's a good link to a site where there are a lot of good back slang terms listed.

Back slang is a type of wordplay in which words are spelled backwards or with reversed syllables. It is used as a form of slang or secret code to communicate in a way that others may not understand.
