re: Knocked-Backed 

Knocked-Backed.... so what would you call it?

To me, knocked-backed is the past tense* to knocked-back

* Do I mean past-tense?

The original deadline was a dream .

'Course, if it was an Airbus....it would have taken 6 months just to determine when to announce the first production delay.
