The "Oriental Hang Back" to a faux exit from a party or other social event in which the Oriental Hang Backer initially agrees to leave with their friends but subsequently decides to stay without informing their friends. Excuses such as "I'm just going to find the bathroom quickly - I'll meet you guys outside" are often used as an excuse to return to the bar, dance floor or a romantic acquaintance and continue doing what they were doing before they agreed to leave in the first place. Oriental Hang Backing can often be blamed on extreme intoxication, horniness, or FOMO. The term is an antonym to the Irish Exit.
