chained_bear commented on the word officer's back
"Sergeant House watched Mrs Kentwell walk down the lighted steps of her house and come towards him. He turned his back. He did not wish to speak to her. She had a bad case of 'officer's back,' i.e., an appearance of a broomstick inserted in the anus with the aim of providing greater rectitude."
