When people say some event "has been pushed back" it means that the event will occur at a later time or date, but shouldn't that be it's been pushed forward?

As you approach something, such as the time of a planned event, you push it back to keep it in front of you.

If someone does something ??behind my back? doesn??t that mean they did it in front of me?

If it was PUSHED FORWARD, it would be arriving sooner.

My grandmother who was lucky to be allowed to stay in school through the Sixth Grade used to ask, "How ugly is pretty ugly?"
