Slang Definition:
The term "stripe back" is a derogatory expression that comes from British slang and is often used to describe someone who doesn't take the time to make eye contact or express themselves in a meaningful manner, much like they might not speak up for themselves when speaking with others. It's a way of mocking someone who seems content with their status quo rather than actively seeking out opportunities to contribute or engage meaningfully.
Example Sentence: "She never made eye contact and always seemed to be on her phone all the time, so I'm pretty sure she didn't really 'stripe back'."
