(2) French author François Rabelais (1494-1553) (Translation by Sir Thomas Urquhart, 1653): ' These two did often do the two-backed beast together in so far that at last she became great with child.'

(3) Reverend Paxton (Rance Howard) wants to buy a bear trap from hardware clerk Ed Chilton (Steve Buscemi) in Ed and His Dead Mother (1994): ' Ed, I like to grease the high board better than anyone and if it was just four five guys I'd have no problem with that, but when I come home and find her doing the two-back beast with the entire church council well, by God, that's going too far, especially since half the council is women. That's when I take a stand! That's when I'm counted as a man! That's when I throw my balls up over my shoulder and charge into the fire! Are you following this, son? Just get me the trap.'
