Backdoor flush

Term from Hold'em and Omaha games played with the hole cards. Refers to having three cards of the same suit on the flop with possibility of hitting two needed cards on the turn and on the river.
Example: There was only one spade on the flop, but I found 10s on the turn and 7s on the river to hit a backdoor flush.
