back fat
Rear torso padding
Back fat is the layer of fat on a person's or animal's back.
In butchery, it refers specifically to the fat along a pig's back, used for lard, salt pork, or lining pâtés.
On humans, back fat is the soft tissue that accumulates below the shoulder blades or above the waistline, often visible when clothing fits tightly: Her bra strap cut into her back fat.
