| Apr 1, 2023 at 21:28 | comment | added | David F. | Perhaps “certainly” is too strong, but the implication is that they have each other under adverse conditions, are therefore supporting each other (having each other’s back) despite others who “scream and fuss” | |
| Mar 31, 2023 at 18:03 | comment | added | MarcInManhattan | but the figurative sense of “got your back” against adversity is certainly present You don't provide any evidence of this. Why is it impossible that only the literal meaning was intended? | |
