Ninety-nine-point-nine per cent of Star readers understand the expression “backstabber” or “backstabbing” and that it does not refer to literally stabbing or killing someone, anymore than “the night of the long knives” during the repatriation of the Constitution meant people were literally going to kill former premier René Lévesque.
