back door entry

Secondary building entrance

Back door entry is entrance through a rear or secondary access point rather than the main entrance.

The term applies literally to buildings and figuratively to bypassing normal procedures: The intern got a back door entry into the company through family connections.

In sexual contexts, it's a euphemism for anal intercourse.
