What BrokeBack means on Twitch — the look back over your shoulder.
What does BrokeBack mean?

BrokeBack is a face tilted up and back, the glance over a shoulder. Chat uses it when someone is looking behind them, when a noise just happened off camera, when a play was suspicious, or when a viewer is pretending not to have seen the last message. The name nods at a look-back. The use is the glance.
Origin
Early photo global. The crop is mostly chin and eyes, which is why it reads as a glance instead of a portrait. Pair it with BigBrother if the point is that the glance got caught.
When to use BrokeBack
- A streamer turning around because chat said something was behind them
- A shady play, a quiet rotate, or a cam that caught a look
- Pretending you did not read the last message
- With Jebaited, if the look-behind was the bait
